When updating/editing multiple tasks, List/Tag/Prio/etc buttons should map over every line
When updating/editing multiple tasks, in a single massive textbox where newlines separate the tasks, the List/Tag/Prio/due/threshold buttons at the bottom should add/remove their text from every line.
Current behaviour is to edit only the final line (I think...).
Use case:
-
If I paste a multi-line bullet list from an article to create a list of task, I usually want to apply a particular Tag to all of them.
-
I have an "inbox" saved filter, which contains tasks with no List or Priority. Sometimes I want to select 5 tasks and add BOTH to them, but whichever I add first, they'll disappear from the filtered list. With this change, I could "edit" them as a group, then add prio & list there, and save.
Hope this is clear enough ☺
Current behavior is to add it to the line with the cursor. I think a good way would be to do it to all selected lines, but that is far from trivial. As a workaround (which is how I do it) you can
- Add all the tasks without any tag or list.
- Save them
- In the main filter all tasks without tag or list
- Select them
- Add lists and tags
Thanks! My issue with your way is that once I add a tag, they vanish from the "no tag or list" filter, so I need to find them again and add a list (for example) ☺ Either way, I'm okay enough doing that for now. Thanks for replying!
@ComedyTomedy if you enable the keep selection setting from Features. The tasks will remain selected and visible so you can make other changes. This setting was created specifically for this scenario.
Aha! Thanks! I often put my interface in other languages for learning, and miss subtleties like this. Got it ♥
