I would be useful if you could show:

1.The date a task was added  and perhaps calculate how old it is (# of days).

2. The date a task could be due (due date)

 

Search filter for tasks based on due date:

- All tasks due this month

- All tasks due this week

- All tasks due today

- All tasks added this month, last week, this week, today, etc.

  I would love to see this! I was flicking through a section I have where I quickly type thoughts I want to record - but I can't see when I entered them!

  I agree that date stamping would be very useful.  The date is a very critical part of the meaning of a note.  Finding items by Entry Date would be a very valuable feature.  If I could also sort by that date, that would be even better.

  Enetering Today’s Date at the beginning or anywhere in a note by typing a keyword or shortcut phrase would be a great enhancement.  You can do this by using Phrase Express or TextExpander, but that means switching keyboards in iOS, and also compromises security, as both Apple and the developers of those apps point out.

  Having a due date option for each item would be immensely helpful

  The lack of the ability to attach dates to entries, then search those dates within a search range is why I gave up on workflowy years ago, sad that nothing has been added since.

  Hi Frank,  I logged out from the Settings menu, then logged back in, and now I see Date and Search Helper.  Didn’t know I had to do it from there.  I’d logged on to the web version then logged back out.  However, though I can now see the features, I still can’t make Dates work.  I’ve tried entering keywords such as in your examples.  No luck.  Regards, George.

  Hi George,

  Are you using the desktop app or mobile?

  Hi Frank, I’m using WorkFlowy on an iPad running iPadOS 13.3.

  Hi George, 

  If you're using the latest iOS release, you should be seeing the dates feature once toggled:

  I know dates are now recognized automatically, but they are a bit too versatile right now: it's unclear whether they are set as date of an event, date I'm working on something (likely a range) or due date (which is, IMHO, the most important feature).

  Some recent implementations in Workflowy really have the potential to transform it into a more powerful project management tool (e.g., the "To do" toggling of checkboxes). The one lacking is a clear due date field, which would allow for listing tasks by due date.
