However, in the Live Preview editor mode (pencil icon in lower right corner), tasks written inside callouts cannot be completed by clicking the checkbox.

However, under the following very specific circumstance, Tasks cannot add or remove completion dates or make the next copy of a recurring task:

- Obsidian is in Live Preview editor mode (pencil icon in lower right corner),
88+
- AND the task's markdown is in a callout,
89+
- AND the user clicked on the task's checkbox to complete or re-open the task.

If you toggle a task's status in this situation, you will see a warning. Use the command `Tasks: Toggle Done`, or switch to Reading View (book icon in lower right corner) to click the checkbox.
