Reusable Queries?

[ReidWeb]

Hi,
I presently have the following setup with DataView (JS).

A file /scripts/daily_log_scheduled.js: with contents

dv.execute(`
TASK
WHERE scheduled = date(this.file.name)
`);

As you can see I query the scheduled date based on the file name e.g. 2023-05-29.

I then import this JS in each of my daily notes:

```dataviewjs
dv.view("/scripts/daily_log_scheduled");
```

I much prefer the functionality of the tasks plugin when it comes to managing tasks over what Dataview can offer through it task lists. e.g. Missing priority sort

Is there a way to achieve this through the tasks plugin that anyone is aware of?

I do something much the same, combining dataview and Tasks.

This example in the docs may give you enough info to bend it to your needs:

https://publish.obsidian.md/tasks/How+To/How+to+get+tasks+in+current+file#Using+Dataview+to+generate+Tasks+blocks+-+safe+and+convenient

If you get it working, it would be good if you could share the result here….

And I also put such code in dataview views.

Following through on @claremacrae's suggestion

A file /scripts/tasks_daily_log_scheduled.js

with content

const query = `
not done
scheduled = ${dv.current().file.path}
group by heading
hide backlink
hide scheduled date # we know what date it is 🤪
`;

dv.paragraph('```tasks\n' + query + '\n```');

I then import this JS in each of my daily notes as I did before

```dataviewjs
dv.view("/scripts/tasks_daily_log_scheduled");
```

Wow, I didn't know you could do something so simple.

When I have time, I'll make a note about this in the user docs.

Thank you - this will help my scripts a lot.
