Feature request: Add to-do from Kanban #20

Open nome opened 2 years ago

nome commented 2 years ago

First of all, thank you! This plugin does almost perfectly what I expect from a task management app, it's the main reason I started using Joplin.

There's just one little issue: It's possible to create notes directly from the Kanban board (cf. #3); however, I'd like the tasks created by the + buttons to be to-do items instead of notes (yes I could track completion with a tag, but it's more convenient to have a checkbox for that, plus Joplin renders completed to-dos in a different style, which makes it very easy to get a per-subnotebook overview of task completion). EDIT: not to forget, to-do items can have alarms, while notes cannot.

This could be configuration option, e.g. task_type: todo, defaulting to task_type: note.

Try adding completed: false to the filters. After the latest update, this could work the way you want it

I tried adding (code below in case I misunderstood), but that just hid the notes in my done column. New notes in any column still seem to be "notes" not "to-dos". Version 1.0.7

```kanban
filters:
    completed: false

I've updated the kanban plugin (to version 1.0.7), and added a completed: false filter. I'm seeing the same effects @amandamcg described, so I'm afraid this doesn't help me.

Full config:

columns:
  - name: Backlog
    backlog: true
  - name: Next
    tag: next
  - name: Work in progress
    tag: wip
  - name: Finished
    completed: true
filters:
  completed: false

I see, I'll check it out

If I understand correctly then having another button in the header for creating to-do items might be an option? For instance using the same symbols as already shipped by Joplin:

One might even think about a context menu of an item on the board (right-click) with the ability to complete a to-do. This would be extremely convenient, but I'm note sure if this is possible. Another option would be to have checkbox for to-do items like

Yes, 2 buttons would work. Or a setting to choose which to appear, if that takes too much space.

Re: completing a todo, I use the done column for that, but could see others wanting to have that as a separate option.

- name: ✅ Done
    completed: true

I agree, two buttons would be a perfectly valid solution. I also use the done/finished column to complete to-do items, so as far as I'm concerned the "completing via kanban" feature is already covered.
