Hi John.

 

My answer will either be reasonable to you, or else insufficient for you, but 
here’s how I’d implement it.  Apologies if you already know this.

 

I’d set up a context with hours, called @Evenings, with hours open from 18:00 
on.

 

If I needed to see what was upcoming but not yet active, I’d play with a couple 
of things.  Maybe a separate view that has “show closed contexts” on, grouped 
by context so that I can glance at it to see what’s upcoming in the evening, 
all the while my primary view has don’t show closed contexts, hence showing 
only active tasks.

 

Not what you’re looking for, and certainly not relating to timed flags, granted.

Hello


I am still trying to set up tasks that are only shown after 18:00 in the 
evening.

 

Did "CurrentDateTime"  ever get implemented?

I would like to have time-of-day can be built into my Advanced Filters so that 
I can grey out tasks which are set for "~EveningsOnly", but have them go black 
in the evenings.

 

Thanks

 

J

You can get close. You essentially want a filter that says 
((flag is off) OR ((flag is on) AND (Now isGreaterThan Today+0.75)))

note that Today is the current date and time at Midnight, 0.75 = 18:00 because 
it's 18/24, and you dont have to test if the current time is later than today 
at 23:59 because it never is
The problem is that the last phrase of this filter uses NOW before the operator 
isGreaterThan and you can only use field names there. You need a field name of 
CurrentDateTime and this would be feasible. I would be in favor of a request to 
implement CurrentDateTime, it would make a lot of stuff possible.

Meanwhile, back to reality, do what Andrei says.

Hello

 

How can I create an Advanced filter to hide any tasks that have a flag is set 
(e.g. called "~Evenings"), except for if the time of day is 18:00 or greater?

 

i.e. To show tasks that have a flag called "~Evenings" only between 18:00 and 
23:59.

 

Cheers
