Description
I hardly use due dates for tasks, but prefer to order them in priority order.
This means that the Dashboard widget is almost empty. For me it would be nice to also display tasks that do not have a due date.
As a workaround I also activate the standard Tasks app of Nextcloud, having a Tasks widget that does exactly that:

Research direction
Start by locating the Dashboard widget and the code that selects tasks for display; no file or test is named in the issue. Check how tasks without due dates are currently filtered, then verify that the widget shows them in a useful priority order without regressing dated tasks.
