Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I use tasks in nextcloud, but never set a start or end date. For me a task is just something that has to be done at or before a certain time (due date). I create them on my phone or in nextcloud quickly in between of things so I don't forget something. So setting a due date but also a start date (that is equal to the due date) is quite cumbersome. Creating tasks right in the calendar app would be the best workflow for me, but I believe that's different issue already.

So the implementation I was thinking is roughly like this:

  • Add a setting 'Show tasks with only due date'
  • if the start_date and end_date are both empty/null, show the task based on the due date, otherwise use the start/end date. (Or don't show it if it has neither of the three)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the task display logic and the settings entry point, then trace how start and end dates determine visibility. Done means an opt-in setting makes tasks with only a due date appear according to that date while tasks with no relevant dates remain hidden.
