[Feature Request] Sync TODOs between summary and origin #28

Open sinewave-2097 opened 3 months ago

I've been looking at a lot of note apps this week to replace OneNote. Other than AmpleNote, this Joplin plugin is the only way I have discovered how to do to-do scanning/summation. You've given Joplin the edge and now it's my primary note taking-app at work. Thank you!

I do have a feature request. Now that I'm relying on the Todo Summary page to collect all my tasks from different workbooks, can you add something that allows sync between the two? If I change the task in summary, I'd like to see it reflected in the original note. This would include closing the task.

FYI, during testing the parameters of the plugin, I did manage to get it to stop updating the ToDo Summary page. Not sure what the breaking change was, but it was necessary to disable the plugin, delete the Todo Summary page, then restart, re-enable and recreate the page.

This is something I would like to have as well. Especially for marking tasks as done. I probably won't be working on this soon, but would absolutely support a pull request adding it.

A forum post reminded me that your request here is already partly done, todos can be marked as done from the summary page (if the markdown editor is open). This was implemented in https://github.com/CalebJohn/joplin-inline-todo/pull/11

Based on your forum post, I see now that I should have specified I'd like this to work in the RTE :) I know you're not as familiar with it, but I work almost exclusively in the RTE.
