Adding days left to due date in task list

[stefanocoretta]

Hello! Is there a way to show for each task the number of days left to the due date?

I see that that can be done with a plain dataview query but I couldn't find if it can be done with a tasks query too.

(Weird - I could have sworn that I had answered this. No idea where my answer went.)

The easiest way is to use the second example - with task.due.fromNow.groupText - in this page in the docs:
https://publish.obsidian.md/tasks/Scripting/Custom+Grouping#Date+property+examples

Thank you! It doesn't do exactly what I had in mind (although it is close enough). I am already grouping my task by month with group by function task.due.format("YYYY-MM") so I was looking for something that would add the remaining time next to each task within each grouping (like in https://github.com/702573N/Obsidian-Tasks-Timeline) rather than creating new grouping. (Most of my tasks are one per day so grouping by remaining days would basically have a single task per group).

Well if you would like to give a concrete example, that doesn't require reading instructions elsewhere, I am happy to try and help.

Where I put wavy red lines is where I would like to see the months/weeks/days left to the due date.
