[Feature]: When a card is completed, update the frontmatter of the first linked note

[SkepticMystic]

Goal or desired outcome of this feature

I have a completed field in my note-tasks. When I complete that card, it would be awesome if Kanban updated the frontmatter of that note to show the note is also complete.

Describe the feature

Maybe there can be a setting Field to update on completion, and Value to update to. So my field would be complete, and the value would be ✅.

Can you think of any alternatives or work-arounds?

I can manually update it, but that's double-work

Screenshots, mockups, or videos

Thanks @SkepticMystic I have a card in the roadmap for automation / event support that should support this functionality: https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-kanban/projects/1#card-68389857

I was also wondering this. Right now I'm linking my Kanban cards to Notes using a Notes Template. However, all of these cards have only one link (to the Kanban Board itself) and don't reflect their archived status.

It would be useful to organize the notes by whether they have been archived or not. For example, when you archive a card it also updates a tag or link in the Note itself.

It would be perfect to add a tag for completed notes (and to be able to select which tag is added). I have auto note mover and the note would be also moved automatically to the proper folder when done. This would save a lot of work.

just an idea for this feature.

How about having a frontmatter field like kanbanstatus The Text Value of it always is the same as the kanban list's name.

If a list name is altered or removed, all the cards (and especially also its linked note's frontmatter field kanbanstatus) is updated/deleted accordingly

If a card is moved to another column/list the cards frontmatter (and especially also its linked note's frontmatter field kanbanstatus) is updated to the column/list name it was moved to.

an additional frontmatter field like kanbanIsResolved can hold information if the card the note belongs to is in resolved or archived state.

(This would need to assert that one note is only linked to one card in one kanban board)
