convert ToDo to Project-Task [Feature Request] #73

Open buhtz opened 6 years ago

buhtz commented 6 years ago

I am quite new to BORG. Maybe there are solutions for my need.

Sometimes I would like to convert an existing ToDo entry into a Task for existing or new Project.

or maybe just share them?but since it uses basic rdb, it probably will be a bit hard/complex to cross reference.maybe need a graph database.

This feature would likely be a new option in the right-click menu of a todo that would open a new task editor and populate the Summary, Description, Category and Due Date fields from the todo. the user would then fill in the other fields as desired and save the task. I guess the original todo would be deleted as well.

I'm not sure if this use case happens often, and when it does, it's not too hard to cut&paste the data from the todo into a task.

I left this request open because it's exactly the kind of feature that would be good for college students to code. For years it seemed like the most activity on this project came from college students in software engineering classes who were assigned to do various things with Borg to learn about the software process.
