Create new task from search #2713

Open xundeenergie opened 8 months ago

xundeenergie commented 8 months ago

We use tasks as family-shoppinglist. And so we need many tasks again and again... bread, milk, coffee...

I have to search first for a task, to see the already checked one, to uncheck them. Removing the filter throws me out of the list... i have to select the shoppinglist again... do the loop again and again... :-(

so... if it would be possible to get suggestions for already existing (checked and unchecked) when typing a new task would be great. I can uncheck it, if it exists already.

Sorry about this, this is a bug (https://github.com/tasks/tasks/pull/2700)

What I will likely do is update search so that when you're typing in a search term you can create a new task from the term, similar to how search works in the tag picker

This is not exactly, what i described.

When i create a new task and type the title, it would be great, that a search is done and presents me similar and existing tasks, which are even marked as done. So i can uncheck it and not create a new task with the same name.

I use tasks in combination with nextcloud with my wife as shoppinglist for our household. And there we have the same tasks every week...

The functionality to create a task out from the search-term is also a good thing.

But this is another functionality as i described.
