Is there an easy way to filter all tasks in progress between two dates ? I see options to filter for tasks that start or end during a given period. While it is possible to build the required query using these filters, is there an easier option ?

Good question — and no, there isn't a dedicated "active during" filter option yet. What I described (an AND-group with Start ≤ end-of-period and Finish ≥ start-of-period) is still building the query yourself, just with two conditions instead of three-way OR-ing "starts during" / "ends during" / "spans across". It's the shortest path today, but it's not a built-in shortcut.

A proper one-click option would need a small addition to the filter engine — worth considering. I'll flag it as a possible improvement.

In the meantime, here's the two-rule version: add a group set to AND, then two rules on Start and Finish using "less than or equal" / "greater than or equal" against your two boundary dates.

Following up on this — it's built now. There's a new filter field called "In progress": pick it in the Filter dialog and it has a single between operator with two date inputs. It checks whether a task was active at any point during that window (an interval-overlap test on start/finish), so it also catches tasks that span the whole period without literally starting or ending inside it — the case a manual "starts during OR ends during" combination would miss.

It's merged to main, so it'll be live on the web app (open-planner-studio.open-aec.com) shortly, and will ship in the next desktop release.
