Filter by Due - How does it work?

[Revearti]

I’m trying to make a Perspective showing all actions with due dates regardless of when they are due. It seems filtering by Due or Flagged only shows actions that are Due Soon along with any action that is flagged.

Can anyone share what interval is chosen when you try to filter by Due? Today is Apr 25th, and I have something due May 7th, but it won’t show up in the Perspective. It’s only showing my actions that are due within the next few days.

I think filter by “Due” is the same thing as filter by “Due Soon,” so it would be whatever you have set in the “Dates & Times” preferences.

Perspective for items with no due date?

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here - I want a Perspective that shows only tasks that don't have a due date, and I can't see how to do it. I can approximate by grouping and sorting on the due date, but I can't see a way of excluding those where the due date is empty. Any ideas?

As I mentioned in that thread, I created a perspective like what you are looking for in OmniFocus 1 by grouping by “Due” and keeping the “No Due Date” group closed, but that doesn’t work in OF2 because group states (i.e., hidden/visible) are not reset every time you open the perspective.

Perspective for items with no due date?

I don't think that is possible. I actually want to set up the opposite -- a perspective that shows all the remaining tasks that have any due date set (i.e., not just "due soon," but anything). I hacked it together in OF1 by grouping by due date and then keeping the "No due date" group collapsed. Unfortunately, in OF2, the perspectives don't remember the group open/closed state, so it opens back up each time. I definitely wish there were more powerful filtering options to assign arbitrary q…
