Expected behavior would be that all tasks with a start date set in the past are listed here.
Expected behavior is to list tasks where STATUS=IN-PROCESS
.
I think you want --startable
: "Show only todos which can be started today".

This makes sense, but how can I move a task into STATUS=IN-PROCESS
?
Is there some command I overlooked?

Actually I wanted to get a list of "started/in-progress" tasks and I thought, that I could achieve this by setting a "start" date... But a start
command would be fine as well.

There doesn't seem to be a command to do so. I guess the GUI in todo edit
could have a line with the status and a switcher to change it.
Or todo edit
could have a new flag --status
to update the status.
But changing status is mostly limited to NEEDS-ACTION
and IN-PROCESS
right now through the done
and undo
workflows.
Keep in mind that not all fields can be edited with todoman, but if they're reflected and displayed because you might be synchronizing with a phone or some other device/client which does support editing them.

I've always used the start date with a slightly different meaning: to indicate that this tasks starts on a given date.
For example, if I have to do a tax declaration between the 1st and 30th of May, I'll create a todo with start=2023-05-01 and due=2023-05-01. So todo list --startable
won't show me this todo before the 1st of May (since I cannot actually start it).
To be clear though, that's mostly me interpretation of it; there's nothing preventing you from using the start
field with another meaning, but the --startable
flag won't match your expectations.
There's also "progress" field, which goes between 0 and 100, but that one is also not editable right now. TBH, I'm pretty sure that what you want is the ability to edit status=IN-PROCESS
.

Thank you for the explanation!

Yes, what I miss is the ability to edit/toggle the status
to IN-PROCESS
/NEEDS-ACTION
.

Afaik in taskwarrior this was implemented by separate start
and stop
commands, but IMO a todo edit --status=IN-PROCESS
and maybe a "IN-PROCESS" checkbox (or status drop-down) in the TUI would be perfect!
Maybe the "IN-PROCESS" tasks could also be marked as [o]
or [-]
(or something else) in the todo list
?
There's also "progress" field, which goes between 0 and 100, but that one is also not editable right now.
Editing the "progress" field would be also nice but IMO this makes specially sense for tasks with subtasks...
I've always used the start date with a slightly different meaning: to indicate that this tasks starts on a given date.
I see the use case now. Haven't thought of this feature that way but makes definitely sense!
