Reopen selected tasks
The editor command turns selected completed tasks back into unchecked tasks and removes their Tasks completion dates.
Why it matters
Section titled “Why it matters”Completed task markers are easy to create accidentally, especially when using keyboard shortcuts in a long note. Reopening the task should not require the user to remember which completion-date emoji needs to be removed.
The command works directly in the editor because the user is already looking at the specific checklist lines they want to reopen. Users can assign the recommended hotkey to Tasks Eye: Reopen selected tasks in Obsidian’s Hotkeys settings.
What to expect
Section titled “What to expect”- The command is available only when the current editor selection contains checked task lines.
- The command is registered without a default hotkey.
- Standard checked task markers become unchecked markers.
- Tasks completion dates are removed from reopened task lines.
- The command uses the Tasks API when available and falls back to local line rewriting otherwise.
