Function for Obsidian to return tasks with GTD tags like #todo/next-action, then #todo/inbox if no tasks were found with the first tag, and so on.

readme.md

Takes a specific tag as a parameter, so you can find tasks with any tag. Requires Dataview to work. Returns the dataview results, which can then be passed to a Templater suggester and then toggleTask.js or insertBlockEmbed.js.

GTD nextActions.js

async function nextActions(userTag = null) {
    let actionTags = ["todo/next-action", "todo/inbox", "todo/someday-maybe"]
    // const exclusion = "";
    let nextActions;
    let chosenTag = "";
    if (userTag) {
        actionTags.unshift(userTag);
    };
    for (const tag of actionTags) {
        nextActions = await runQuery(tag);
        if (nextActions.length > 0) {
            chosenTag = tag;
            if (userTag && chosenTag !== userTag) {
                new Notice(`Found no tasks tagged ${userTag}, suggesting task from ${chosenTag} instead`, 5000);
            }
            new Notice(`Found ${nextActions.length} tasks tagged ${tag}`, 5000);
            break;
        }
    };
    return [nextActions, chosenTag] || null;
};

async function runQuery(actionTag) {
    const dv = app.plugins.plugins["dataview"].api;
    const path = '""';
    const where = `where !completed and contains(tags, "${actionTag}")`;
    const query = `TASK from ${path} ${where} sort due desc`;
    const DQL = await dv.tryQuery(query);
    const results = DQL.values;
    return results;
