Extra states not showing in UI

[lapo-luchini]

Hi, newcomer here, I might have misread something, but is it needed to do anything on my part fo enable support/UX for "canceled" and "partial" tasks?
Also, is it possible to append completion date also on normal ticking of a checkbox (instead of using right button completion)? Other plugins do this (but they don't support partial and canceled tasks, so I'd prefer to use this one).

Additional Task Types (renamed in 0.6.5) Specify the set of single characters that indicate in-progress or incomplete tasks.

default: (space)
example: > ?! (a space is included along with other values)
Notes:

• This is often used with bullet journal (bujo) style tasks,
  e.g. [>] for deferred items or [/] for items in progress.
  See Task states.
• The pop-up dialog for marking tasks will create buttons in the order
  the characers are included in this string.

Yes, I have set incompleteTaskValues: " >" already… changing it to " >/" changes precious little.

Ah. You need.. a task snippet. Any task snippet will do. My theme has one, as do a few others. You can also use Snippetor (another plugin) to generate your own. Snippetor doesn't need to run all the time: it is a literal wall of toggles. It will help you make your own task snippet so you can define what these should look like.

Meanwhile, you can map "TC: Mark Task" to a keyboard shortcut (and right click menu) and use that to complete items w/ these alternate values.
