Option to hide SCHEDULED / DEADLINE dates for DONE tasks

[KorbenOP]

Hi!

I’d like to suggest a small UI/UX improvement.

Problem:
When a task is marked as DONE, it still shows its SCHEDULED and DEADLINE dates in the note view and lists. For completed tasks, this information is no longer useful and adds visual noise, especially when reviewing finished work.

Requested feature:
An optional setting to hide SCHEDULED and DEADLINE dates for tasks with status DONE.

Why this is useful:

• Cleaner view of completed tasks
• Easier review of finished work
• Better separation between planning (TODO) and archive/history (DONE)

Thank you for considering this!

This is already a feature.

The way to filter notes is to either execute a search or create and use a saved search. The home screen widgets also use saved searches. You compose a search to match the notes you want listed.

The search expressions are covered in the manual. You just need to include .it.done in your search to exclude DONE items.

I didn't mean the search function, but the tree view when you open the notebook. This:

Oh, I see what you mean now.

The canonical way to handle this in Org-mode proper is to either refile or archive (or even delete) the DONE task.
