You can; you'll have to dive wayyyyy into DataView filtering. Start with the Tasks plugin page linked in the description of this video, then explore DataView filtering documentation if that doesn't do the trick. But you'd probably need to add the project tag to each task if you're going to add tasks all over your vault, or limit those project tasks within the project folder and limit search scope to that folder, etc.
I believe there there may be another way to do it but all those hide statements can be put in the global query section of the settings. A great video, I've been watching other videos on obsidian tasks and this is the best for a beginner intro to tasks in obsidian.
I appreciate the kind words! And you're right; you can change "full mode" to "short mode" as a quick way of hiding stuff. Multiple ways to accomplish the same goal. I mostly did it the way that I did it to show people you can attack each one individually and how to go about it and that it might take a couple tries to figure out the right way to do it. I like doing it that way to give people confidence in trying it out instead of presenting a perfectly polished video that makes people think "I could never do that."
Such a helpful video, you saved me hours of poking around in the docs😂
I'll email you your consulting bill. 😀 Glad it helped!
I second this, very helpful! Thanks
@@ZaMazta2000 Glad you liked it 🙏
Thanks a lot. Great video!
You are welcome, a lot! Thanks for giving it a watch.
My comment in chat the other day about starting to use the tasks plug-in was apparently well timed!
You had to be reading my mind! #GreatMindsThinkAlike
You are my hero!
I'll take it! Thank you!
Thanks for this - Is there a way of filtering tasks that are linked to a specific [[project]]? I prefer to use backlinks with frontmatter than tags

Thank You so much, hot stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
