Dear Konrad,

as a follow up on [Show done tasks](https://community.vikunja.io/t/show-done-tasks/2647) in the support forum and a related [GitHub issue](https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/issues/296#issuecomment-2273645875), I move this to the feature forum.

It would be great to show “completed tasks” and “task to be done” in the list view. This is currently and unfortunately not possible.

Instead of having them all in one list (and possibly mixed), there could be another “list of completed task” below the “list of tasks to be done”.

Another great feature would be to be able to collapse or expande the “list of completed tasks”.

Best

PS: If one counts user neo-data and user heep, there are already 3 upvotes. 😉

Hey there!

You can already do this by either editing the default filter for the list view or creating a new one which only shows done tasks (`done = true`).  
Or create a saved filter for this entirely.

Great! Couly you elaborat a litle bit more on how to do this?

Being in a project’s list view and selcting `Filter` to the top right display the current filter `{ "s": "", "sortBy": null, "orderBy": null, "filter": "done = false", "filterIncludeNulls": false }` in a modal and if I add `done = true` to the query, no tasks are shown in the list view.

I could probably change this default filter if I would run my own instance. However, I am a user of Vikunja Cloud.

Best,  
Tillmann

This has since been fixed.

To edit the filter for a view, click on the three dots next to the project title \> Views \> Click on the pen icon of the view you want to change the filter for \> then in the form there’s a “Filter” input.
