Exclude tasks that are overdue for too long from my smart list

jersiaise says:
Hello,

I am stuck with a little problem with my smart list. I am looking for a way to exclude tasks from the search that are overdue already for a very long time (let's say for more than 4 months), but I want to keep those that are only overdue for a shorter time (so, less than 4 months). Is there any search option for this?

I know that I could solve the problem with adding tags to those tasks I want to exclude, but I would have to do it manually.

Thanky in advance for your help! :)

Hi Alina,
It's not possible to search for a past time period, so it wouldn't be possible to do this dynamically, sorry.

It would be possible to do this with a specific date though:

dueBefore:today AND NOT dueBefore:1/3/2015

Those two criteria would show overdue tasks but not those due before 1 March. You could update that date to suit the tasks you want to see.

Hope this helps!
