[Feature request] Option to maintain priority in completed tasks #412

Closed pig-cop closed 3 years ago

pig-cop commented 3 years ago

If I set a task as completed the priority is cleared. Any chance to add an option to maintain the priority? It is useful for my case scenario to know the priority of past completed tasks.

Hi,

Although this is a common request, I believe that it's outside of the todo.txt format spec (https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt) and so, in order to maintain compatability with other todo.txt apps, it won't be added.

Cheers,

Ben

I understand your decision, but considering that clearing or not clearing the priority are arbitrary out of spec actions (both are valid) it does make sense to have an option to enable or disable this behaviour.

Portable version which retains priority at https://github.com/fleapower/todotxt.net/. It is based on jdckr's fork.
