how to TODO => DONE => CANCELED

[ilyaeis]

Hi, I tried to use Tasks plugin settings to make custom change after clicking on the task:

So, it had to work, like this
- [ ] some task (start)
- [x] some task (after first click)
- [-] some task (after second click)
- [ ] some task (after third click)

but in the end it just behave as usual task:
- [ ] some task (start)
- [x] some task (after first click)
- [ ] some task (after second click)

1. Start:
   
2. First click
   
   3, Second click
   
3. Third click
   

I restarted obsidian, and I have default settings of Tasks plugin.

What I do wrong?

Also, are you sure that your status types are really what you meant?

It's a bit unconventional for:

• Space to mean DONE
• x to mean CANCELLED
• - to mean TODO

This is what you need to make your settings be:
