Re: [MLO] Re: Filter by Day Name (Monday, Tuesday, etc)

[Dwight Arthur]

This kind of thing generally requires a modulo or remainder function (divide the date by seven and take the remainder) which is unfortunately beyond the capability of the advanced filter. This is clearly different from what you are asking for but maybe you might find it useful. You could create a context called "Monday" and in the "Hours" section of the context definition you could define that the context is open all day Monday and closed the rest of the week. Make another filter for Tuesday, etc. Then, on each day you will see the tasks configured for that day. you can make views that filter for context = Monday, or other days, or groups of days. It gets complicated if you have other contexts on these tasks in addition to the days of the week. In that case you could still filter for given days or groups of days but you might not be able to rely on the fact that every task not set for this day of the week will be hidden all day today. That's because context tests have an implied "or" - - if a task has contexts "Monday" and "phone" and if "phone" is always open then the task will be active every day of the week because "phone" is open.

The closest I can get is selecting to group by date, which shows any entries over the coming week with the day name coded into each group title - but I take it that's not really what you're looking for. The only other thing I can suggest, if you want certain weekly repeating actions to be shown by the day of the week on which you want to do them, is to use contexts, flags or text tags to assign a weekday to each task - however, that won't automate and keep the day name consistent with any date changes you make.
