Issue with the First Task Item in Callout Losing Data

[Deanly]

What happened?

Issue:
Dataview is unable to recognize the first task item written inside a Callout in all cases.

Description:
In the image above, "task item 01" in Data 1 is a Task item written inside a Callout. This item is missing from the Dataview, as shown in the example. Moreover, when clicking on the checkbox for the item in Dataview, it does not recognize the item correctly. The image shows the state after clicking the checkbox for "task item 03" only once in Dataview.

Version Information:
Below are the version details I have verified.

• Bug Found Version:
  • Obsidian: v1.6.3
  • Dataview: 0.5.66

I got the same issue with DQL as well.

Example with same markdown as already provided:

## with DQL

```dataview
TASK
WHERE file.path = this.file.path
```

```dataview
TABLE WITHOUT ID
T.text AS "task desc", 
T.checked AS "checked",
T.completed AS "completed"
WHERE file.path = this.file.path
FLATTEN file.tasks AS T
```

If the callout has no title aka only has the callout "type" in brackets, everything works as expected.

> [!todo]
> - [ ] some task

and

```dataview
TASK
WHERE !completed
```

correctly returns

Todo

• some task

@WingerathM
Thank you. With your suggested method, I can also use the folding feature (+, -) in callouts. For the time being, I'll have to use it without the title in the callout.

Hi, I've written documentation for the Tasks plugin about the underlying Obsidian issue which will also be useful to dataview users:

Missing tasks in callouts with some Obsidian 1.6.x versions

I will update the page as the Obsidian behaviour improves.

Hi @Deanly in what way is this completed?

in the Tasks plugin I’ve left the equivalent ticket open so it, and the link to more info, is discoverable to other users finding the problem. And to prevent duplicate reports.

I would strongly recommend leaving this ticket open until Obsidian is properly fixed.

From the Obsidian team:

In version 1.6.5 a new advanced settings has been introduced to force rebuild the metadata cache.

If you are affected by this issue, go to Settings → Files and links → Advanced → Rebuild vault cache.

You will need to do this on all vaults, on all devices...

I've updated the Tasks notes on this issue.
