Sometimes you need to “archive” a task that you haven’t completed without deleting it altogether (maybe you want to keep a record of the task or come back to it later).
In situations like this, I deal with the task by:
Adding [DNC] (which stands for “Did not complete”) to the start of the task name.
Post and pin a comment explaining why it was not completed.
Mark as complete.
This way, you can keep the task for future reference but clearly identify it as a task that was not completed.
I tested it and believe the answer is yes. Tags are searchable. Once you have chosen your tag Did not complete, you can change the view to Completed tasks.
What I do is adding a “not completed” tag, and then mark them as completed, as @Michael_C_Kring was suggesting. I can confirm it works. It’s searchable, fast and clean.
I love this. @paulminors suggests a great solution, I like it, and suggests to add a tag to the tip. @jorgetoledo comfirms th. That is sharing of ideas and cooperation on a global scale.
I do wish there was a native way to archive a task without marking it as completed. I have to do a similar process whenever a task doesn’t get completed but I don’t want to lose the data and it always feels like I’m having to work-around the system.
