preview block?

[ramnathk]

Hi there, looks like if I have sub bullets under the task item, I can't see them on-hover from a dashboard view. I brought this up in the forum and was told it was a limitation of the Tasks plugin. Is there a workaround for this?
For example
The task is as follows

• Task 1
  • Let ABC know
  • Include XYZ

On the dashboard, while hovering on "Task 1", I would like to see the sub-bullets as part of the preview

Is there a workaround for this?

In the Tasks plugin, no, there is not.

You can up-vote the request to fix that here:

• Support showing tasks as indented #60

My ask is not really related to supporting the relationship between tasks. So, let me modify my post to add more detali

Oh, you did.

I'm afraid I still do not understand what the question is.

The thing I still am missing is what the following means:

I would like to see the sub-bullets as part of the preview

What preview exactly?

I'll leave this open for another day or two, and close if there is no further info...

I'm sorry if i am not being clear. When I hover over a link in Obsidian, i get a preview of the block. When I hover over a task / its icon anywhere, i would like to get a preview of the task bullet and any sub bullets under it

Thanks, but what is missing is how exactly you are viewing your tasks?

• In the results of a tasks query block, hovering over the so-called Backlinks
• In their markdown file
  • In Reading/Preview mode?
  • In Live Preview

If it's hovering over backlinks the results of a tasks query block, then this is likely a duplicate of:

• Preview when hovering over backlinks no longer works as of ver 3.4.0 or later #2127

Aha. I was hovering over the Backlinks, so I'm happy this is already a known issue. Thanks for your patience @claremacrae

[claremacrae]

Thank you.
