Feature Request: Advanced Filtering Additional Feature

[chuckdevee]

not sure of this is possible, but in the ToDo list, in the Setup
Advanced Filtering window, if I set up a rule to the effect of:
StartDateTime 'on or before' Today
then this (obviously) filters out all tasks I have starting tomorrow
onwards.

I'm wondering if it is possible to change the 'Today' option to 'Now'
ie:
StartDateTime 'on or before' Now
which would filter out all tasks I have starting after the prevailing
time.

I often put reminder tasks into my to-do list, eg for important emails
that I need a response to I often put in a task, 'Has so-and-so
replied to my email?' and I time this to start later in the day. It
would be useful to be able to filter these out of my todo list until
their start time has passed.

Basically, what I'm suggesting is an additional option called 'Now' in
the Functions submenu of the 3rd drop-down box that appears in the
advanced filtering setup box when you select StartDateTime in the
first box.

thanks

You will be surprised again by flexibility of MLO :-)
Yes this is possible. Just type Now in the edit box (Replace Today
with Now manually ) and this will work.

Actually you can type any expression there. For example this will also
work:

StartDateTime 'on or before' DueDateTime-1

Fantastic. This apparently small change actually makes a big
difference to my todo lists - in that they are often cluttered with
tasks and follow-up reminders that I've scheduled for later in the
day. The versatility of MLO in allowing users to build their own
customised task list systems is very impressive. thanks again Andrey
