Using Tasks *within* a Callout

[TheDonPaul]

I'm setting up my templates, mostly used for meetings - so, lots of notes and tasks.

Ideally, I want to use this setup:

`>[!todo] Actions

• [[@user1]]: Do task 1
• [[@user2]]: Do task 2 📅 2022-06-16`

So, my tasks are within a callout (I have also some specific format for each task, starting with a link. This is because I have a page for every @user showing all his tasks).

Now, when I try to add a task within the callout, this fails.
First, the new tasks gets a Description >- [ ].
When I add the task, I see a new Task outside the callout:

- [ ] >- [ ] [[@User3]: Do task 3

Which is of course not what I want.
When I remove everything from the Description to just add the task, this also fails. I get '- [ ] [[@user3]]: do task 3' so OUTSIDE the callout.

There just does nog seem to be a way to add tasks within the callout.
When I create the task outside the callout and copy the code to a line in the callout, it shows ok - but when I mark the task completed, the finished by date does not appear. Again, the task is not recognized.

Is this something that can be fixed? I really like my callouts...

Hi @TheDonPaul, As you have rightly spotted, there is not currently a way for Tasks to recognised tasks within callouts and admonitions.

Searching for Callouts in this repo shows this #656 as where the task is being tracked. Please subscribe to that issue for news of any future progress, but as you'll see from the discussion and links there, it's no likely something that can be fixed any time soon.

I fully agree. I searched the forum, but not the pending issues... :)

This is exactly the problem.

This has been fixed via #953, released today in Tasks 1.11.1.
