[Question] Priority string instead of number?

[mdbraber]

I'm working on a Tasks-based integration and came across the Priority type. In the documentation it mentions 'number' as type, but in the Type itself it is declared as a string, is this a mismatch?

obsidian-tasks/src/Task/Priority.ts

Line 9 in 2c6cb6b

* @enum {number}

Hi Maarten,

Since, as far as I can tell, this doesn't affect user-facing code, I've converted it to a Q&A Discussion.

Honestly, I don't know. It does seem a bit fishy, but harmless.

You could look through the git history - by annotating the line - and see whether:

• it was always a string, and the comment was always out-of-date
• or whether some kind of refactoring was done along the way, and the type was changed
• actually there is some other representation of priority elsewhere in the code that is a number, and there is some string to number conversation going on somewhere...
