Welcome!
Quoting myself from this GitHub issue:
By default, the list view has a filter set to show only done tasks (you can change that in the view settings). If you set a filter via the popup on the view, that will be combined with the filter set for the list view. So, if you set a filter
done = true
it will be combined withdone = false
from the view, which results in “show me all tasks that are done and not done at the same time” which won’t work.
Hello,
So how can we show tasks that are not yet finished, but on the bottom also show all the finished (crossed out) tasks as well? I had a Vikunja instance a while ago and managed that view for all my projects. I recently redeployed Vikunja and can’t figure out how to get this to show - List view displaying both tasks not yet done, but also finished tasks on the bottom.
Thanks !
edit: I would also like to see all done tasks (as well as yet to be done) in the Overview section.
You would need to sort by done status - currently that’s possible with the api but there’s no ui for it. And it would only work as long as you don’t have more than 50 undone tasks, because then the undone tasks will essentially push the other ones out. The default overview on the home page does that.
Sorting is on the roadmap.
Vote up!
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”.

To show both done and undone tasks in list view you can set the filter to :
done = true || done = false
Removing that part of the filter would work as well.
i dont think done = true || done = false
works anymore. In fact nothing from what i have tried to display done tasks is working right now
Where are you trying to show done tasks? In a saved filter?
Actually no, but your comment made me realise that i didn’t try that. I apologize if this is not the correct thread.
I just tried a saved filter and it works there (however this obviously shows every possible task).
What i was trying to do was to display the done tasks in a project page. I remember that a while back there was on option “show done tasks”. However now i dont see a way to accomplise that. (i tried all variations i could think of in the query).
I am using vikunja cloud.
This should be possible, the syntax is just different now. It should work if you set a filter string like done = true
or remove any filters for the done property completely.
Note that in the list view, there is a default filter which hides all done tasks. If you want to show done tasks in the list view, you need to remove that in the view settings (on the top, next to the project title, click on the three dots, then on “Views”, then edit the list view and remove the filter string.
Thank you kolaente
The comment about the list view indeed fixes the issue and it works as expected.
I have to say though that this wasn’t intuitive at all.
I would say that a checkbox in the filters next to the query called “ignore default query” or something would work wonders.
