Is it possible to filter out the Completion date when displaying using taskList

[HyperEpsilon]

I have a separate dataviewjs block to show me all the tasks I've completed today. Because it only shows today's tasks, there isn't any need to show the completion date.

Is there a way to hide that portion, or really any portion of a dv.taskList call?

I haven't added a convenience function for it yet, but you can edit the text property of tasks arbitrarily. This includes stripping out metadata.

That was my first idea, but using map to replace the text then returns just the text instead of the whole task

Yeah so map usually reduces objects. Instead, do a replace and return the obj. Note that this'll break the event listener for the checkbox thing.

.map(t=>{t.text = "new text"; return t;}). Can also use .mutate(). Has some comments on the DataArray page.

I guess I should have been more specific. I am fine with the actual ability to replace the text, but it's the content I'm struggling with.
Here is the relevant snippet of my replacement code:

.replace("completion", "").replace(t.completion.toLocaleString(DateTime.DATE_FULL), "")

It gets the word 'completion' out, but doesn't remove the date or the spacing in between (which aren't spaces, maybe they're some other white space separator).

Example

input: text: @maria test completionApril 13, 2022

Output: text: @maria test April 13, 2022

Oh. Can you give me some of the tasks to test this out on?

Ah ha! I ended up solving my problem using regex. I somehow didn't parse that the completion tag was added to the end of the task in the form [completion:: DATE].

Here is my code for filtering out the completion date:

var re = /\[completion::.*?\]/

var out = dv.pages().file.tasks.where(t => t.completed && t.text.includes("@Maria") && dv.equal(t.completion.toISODate(), today)).map(t => {return {...t, text: t.text.replace(re, "")}})

I wrote this in a reply, but I thought I'd put it out here as well. The answer was, of course, regex.

The following snippet will extract any tasks completed today and return them with the completion date stripped from the text field

var today = luxon.DateTime.now().toISODate()
var re = /\[completion::.*?\]/
var filter = "@PERSON"

var out = dv.pages().file.tasks.where(t => t.completion && t.text.includes(filter) && dv.equal(t.completion.toISODate(), today)).map(t => {t.text = t.text.replace(re, ""); return t})

dv.taskList(out)

Sadly this does break the ability to uncomplete the object from the the task list, which is something I don't know if I can fix.

blacksmithgu did talk about fixing this by adding a separate attribute for text display. It'll probably be added soon.
