Add multiple Todoist tasks from highlighted checkbox list

Open matthew-langley opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I really like how the Add Todoist task command uses any highlighted text as the title of the Todoist task. However, if I highlight multiple lines in a checkbox list (where each line represents a single task) and then use the Add Todoist task command, only one Todoist task is created. The text from all highlighted lines (and the checkboxes themselves) are concatenated to form a single title.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Highlight multiple lines of text in Obsidian, where each line might begin with a checkbox, - [ ]
  2. Use the Add Todoist task command
  3. Multiple new Todoist tasks are created, where the title of each new Todoist task corresponds to a single highlighted line. For example, if 3 lines of text were highlighted, 3 separate Todoist tasks would be created.
  4. The Markdown checkbox syntax - [ ] should be excluded from the title of each task.

Describe alternatives you've considered I currently workaround this by highlighting one line at a time, and calling the Add Todoist task command multiple times. However, this pretty inconvenient and tedious.

Additional context Thanks for developing this awesome plugin!

+1 to this. Came over here to propose the same thing. I like how quickly I can create Todos in Obsidian, I would love to be able to highlight a list of them and bulk add them with the same project, due date, and priority
