"No checklist found for tag" error shown for pre-existing tag.

[jluna79]

Hi,

I've run into a bug that I cannot escape from and is breaking my workflow dramatically. I used to have an "act" tag that I would use for different tasks (i.e. "act/todo", "act/review", etc).

Since last month checklists have stopped working and a "No checklist found for tag #act" is always shown.

Here's the configuration:

And here's what I keep seeing:

Another weird thing I see: the settings menu does not show the correct information for the configured tag. Edit: Also (as mentioned in a comment below) I cannot click on the tags to show/hide anything

Versions

• Checklist plugin: 2.2.7
• Obsidian: 0.15.9 (macOS)

Thanks!

I am having similar problems.

As well as the sometimes malformed tag names in the Show Tags? dialogue, I am sometimes finding that I can't click on any of the tag names shown to select the ones I need.

Checklist version 2.2.5 Obsidian v0.15.9 (Windows 11)

I can't replicate this issue on my machines. Would you mind clearing out your tags and re-inputting them fresh?

If you're still seeing the bug can you open up the Developer Console and screenshot if there are any errors?

Using the Tag Wrangler plugin I renamed act to actt and now items are showing :| (weird).

However, new items are not added to the list.

After re-renaming tags back to act things seem to go back to normal:

But as soon as I close the Vault and re-open it... 😢

Edit: Here's the developer console after re-opening the vault. It shows some seemingly related errors

I am having similar problems.

Maybe it's because of the multi-level tags.

Tried this but I don't think that is the reason. I still have the problem of tasks not showing up:

Any update on this @flankstaek ? Did the console screenshots help?

also have this, can no longer see any todo items checklist 2.2.10, Obsidian v1.0.3

[heavenideas]

Same here v2.2.10 of the plugin and v1.0.3 of obsidian

Obsidian V.1.1.9 Checklist-Plugin V.2.2.12

The plugin had been working great up until today when I was no longer able to add any more todo items and this error arose.

This occurred on two of my machines, at first I still had the todo checklists visible up until I unchecked the todo tag as a filter and they all disappeared. The filter option was then was no longer selectable until the Obsidian program was fully reset. Observing the developer console I am noticing a similar error message as above.

The last few days of using the plugin have been great so I am thrilled with the workflow possibilities using this plugin. I'm rather inspired to fork the code and begin searching for a solution since it does not seem to be a bug that everyone is experiencing.

I don't know if this plugin is still maintained. Last time I heard from @flankstaek was 5 months ago and didn't get an answer to the updated info I added :(.

This plugin was super useful in my workflow while I used it. @DennisVargas, if you do fork the code (or become a collaborator) would be super helpful!

[jluna79]

Still no answer nor fix :(

Came here to share I'm now using a Dataview query to simulate this plug-in (not optimal but it works).

1. Install Obsidian Dataview.
2. Add the same tag to the files where your tasks will be written (I use #my/daily-notes)
3. Use the tag you would usually list on the obsidian-checklist panel as a header for sets of tasks

Example

### #todo
- [ ] some todo
- [ ] another

4. Create a new note with the following Dataview query

```dataview  
Task  
From #my/daily-notes 
Where !completed and (text != "" and text != "...")
Sort file.ctime desc
Limit 20  
Group by meta(section).subpath

Hope this helps other people having this problem.

Fixed in 2.2.13

Finally, it works again! Thanks!
