  Most likely, you are looking at a task that has been scheduled from within a note that is not included in the Task Calendar Domain you're viewing. 
  
  [Here is a 3-minute video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cNj7otqr48)  and [here is a help page](https://www.amplenote.com/help/using_calendar_task_domains)  that explain how to set up Calendar Task Domains. Basically, you need to pick one or more base tags to be scanned for tasks when looking at a "Work" or "Personal" or custom calendar tab. [We do this to prevent stressing users out if they want to peek at their calendar on the weekend]() .
  
  **How can this cause gray tasks on the calendar? **Say that you are viewing the "Work" tab on your Amplenote Calendar, which means you are looking at your "Work" Task Domain. In this example, let's say the settings for your "Work" Task Domain declare that the todo tag is included. So, any note that has been tagged with todo or todo/whatever will be shown on the "Work" calendar with full coloring. 
  
  But let's say you are working in a newly created note "Project Tasks" with no tags applied yet. If you schedule a task in this note, and you visit your Work calendar, which has the (default enabled) ["Show all scheduled tasks" option](https://images.amplenote.com/ef8c307c-f9ca-11ed-9bd0-aa1e76b1d5f5/f5bddc12-9bd3-46c1-a7e6-001430b65092.png) , you will see the task, but it will be de-emphasized. Since the task's note isn't in this Task Domain, we presume you don't want to pay attention it in your current mental state (as reflected by the Task Domain you chose to look at). If you toggle the "Show all scheduled tasks" option, you wouldn't see the task at all in your "Work" Task Domain. 
  
  **How to fix it**: There are several options to fix this, so your task shows on the calendar with its expected color. Any one of the following actions could resolve the issue:
  Visit your new "Project Tasks" note and add a tag that begins with "todo" (the tag that your "Work" Task Domain looks for). For example, todo/client-projects or todo/december-2024
  Use the !move task action to move your scheduled task to a different note that has a todo tag applied to it (whether it is todo/projects/recent or just todo, both will work)
  Visit your "Task Domain" settings and add either the "Project Tasks" note to your "Work" Task Domain, or add a new root tag to the "Work" Task Domain, that you will apply to the Project Tasks note.
