Hi Stefano, It seems your filter syntax is wrong. There is a very simple test, which I always do with my fingers. I add 1 for opening brace and remove on for a closing brace. In the end it needs to be 0. This does not tell if the filter is valid, but it is a good indicator. If at the end there is a finger left, or "missing" ;)
I did test it. It should do what you want. See the start of the filter `[all[current]...` there is only 1 opening brace in front a "all" <$list filter=[all[current]backlinks[]tag[Task]]> <$link/> </$list> You may also have a look at talk.tiddlywiki.org, which is the new official forum now. There is much more traffic so you may get your answer faster. Have fun!
