Tasks with Metadata (%%...%%) Added by Ultimate Todoist Sync Are Not Displayed in Queries [text after Emojis breaks Tasks metadata]

[sIzabela]

Please check that this issue hasn't been reported before.

• I searched previous Bug Reports didn't find any similar reports.

Expected Behavior

Tasks that include metadata in the form of %%...%%, such as %%[todoist_id:: XXXXXXXXXXX]%%, should still be recognized by the Tasks plugin and be included in query results as long as they meet the other criteria (e.g., not done, due before tomorrow).

Current behaviour

Tasks that contain metadata like %%[todoist_id:: XXXXXXXXXXX]%% are excluded from the query results, despite fulfilling all other query conditions (e.g., due date and status). Manually removing the metadata restores the task in the query results.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start with a standard task in Obsidian:

• Test 📅 2024-09-19

This task is correctly displayed in the task query using:

due before tomorrow

3. After syncing with Todoist using the Ultimate Todoist Sync plugin, the task is modified to include the following metadata:

• Test 📅 2024-09-19 link #todoist %%[todoist_id:: XXXXXXXXXXX]%%

3. Run the same query again:

due before tomorrow

4. The task is no longer displayed in the query results, even though it meets the due date and is marked as not done.

This is a duplicate of the following Tasks issue:

• Make Tasks find signifiers even in there is text after them #1505

The behaviour, and how to detect it, is documented in:
What do I need to know about the order of items in a task?

It will be fixed at some point, but is a lot of work, and I do not know when it will be fixed.

I do not recall earlier complaints from Todoist users, so perhaps there is a workaround in that plugin to control the order of items?

In any case, I will close this as a duplicate.
