Do not add the link to file in the name of the task

martin-arg commented 8 months ago

Hi I'm testing the plugin to discover that all my tasks have the name change to add the link to the obsidian note, can this be disabled? Or move to the task note?

I don't understand the usefulness of this backlink on the initial synch of all the tasks from TickTickSync to TickTick then back to Obsidian either.

Where I do not see its usefulness:

On the initial sync, TickTickSync downloads all tasks from TickTick, and puts them into a separate Obsidian page for each TickTick list we have our tasks in. The root folder is customized in the extension settings.
the backlink redirects to that task location on the aggregate page in Obsidian for the List Name.
for this initial sync, it appears to serve no purpose from what I can see in my short time of use. Because a backlink to a page full of task names and another link to TickTick web for that task

Where I do see some usefulness:

Creating a new task via Obsidian Task, on another Obsidian page, daily journal, or whatever. If that task is tagged with #ticktick, it creates a task in the TickTick webpage, and that backlink from the task in TickTick now points to a page in Obsidian with potential use.

The Task title gets sloppy with the unique ticktick_ID of the task and link created.

in Obsidian, the ticktick_id is in editor mode but not reader mode. I spend all my time in Obsidian in editor mode. and this is messy
in the Title on TickTick, I don't see the usefulness of the full Obsidian file path being there for that backlink. It makes the titles things messy.
Wouldn't it be better to have that backlink called something simpler like

I'm pretty new to Obsidian and Tick Tick, but those are my initial thoughts with this plugin as it relates to the Issue.

For me if there is not need for the plugin for the link, it should be optional. in my case it fills me with clutter the name of the task, also, as far as I can see, it copies the due date in the name. It would be nice if this could be optional.

That was a feature that was specifically requested. Please start a poll in the discussions section. If there are enough folks who want that removed I will do so.

Note: the TickTick ID is required for synchronization. There is not, currently, a rational way of keeping track of tasks in files.

If there are enough requests for this, will re-open at a future date.
