Allow custom tags to be synced with Obsidian #7

Closed khushnoodasif closed 9 months ago

khushnoodasif commented 11 months ago

I think by default all ticktick tasks are tagged with #ticktick and are synced to Obsidian. Would be better to add an option not sync all but only with certain tag e.g. #obsidian, #backlog or any custom tag, this way it can be managed properly. You could still keep all lists as markdown but an option for markdown per task/list would be better.

[...] You could still keep all lists as markdown but an option for markdown per task/list would be better. Please expand on the above. If you could, please provide an example.

For a certain tag e.g. #obsidian you could have a option that defines which tasks/notes with that tag to be synced into Obsidian. This could either do as before and showcase as markdown for the list of the task or you could create a markdown for each task/note. Either option would work but since in TickTick you can only tag on each task or note the second option seems better to me.

In TickTickSync Settings: Choose tag: obsidian (could actually have list of tags here)

This would generate markdown or tasks with that tag.

@khushnoodasif , I want to make sure I understand the request. Please take a look at the following. If it's not what you have in mind, please let me know.

Current

From Obsidian

If a task has the #ticktick tag, it is added to TickTick If it has a tag that corresponds to a TickTick list, or if it is added in a file which is associated with a default list, it is added to that list, else it is added to the Inbox If a task has the #ticktick tag, and TickTick ID, and is updated, it is updated to TickTick If a task has the #ticktick tag, and TickTick ID, and is deleted, it is deleted from TickTick

From TickTick

ALL Tasks are synced If a task is added, it is added to a file If the task is in a list, and that list is the default list for a file, it is added to that file. else it is added to the file associated with the default project If a task is updated, it is updated in the corresponding file in Obsidian If a task is deleted, it is deleted from the corresponding file in Obsidian

Proposed

From Obsidian

If a task has the #ticktick tag, it is added to TickTick If it has a tag that corresponds to a TickTick list, or if it is added in a file which is associated with a default list, it is added to that list, else it is added to the Inbox If a task has the #ticktick tag, and TickTick ID, and is updated, it is updated to TickTick If a task has the #ticktick tag, and TickTick ID, and is deleted, it is deleted from TickTick

From TickTick

New Preference: Sync ALL tasks, or Sync Tasks with a specific Tag If ALL Tasks is selected, behavior is as in current. If specific tag is selected. If a tagged task is added, it is added to a file If the task is in a list, and that list is the default list for a file, it is added to that file. else it is added to the file associated with the default project If a tagged task is updated, it is updated in the corresponding file in Obsidian If a tagged task is deleted, it is deleted from the corresponding file in Obsidian

Yes what you have mentioned in the proposed section seems to align with what I am looking for. Looking forward to it!

I second this. I found that on first sync all my TickTick tasks were deleted and I can't retrieve them.

I also agree with this suggestion. Once all tasks are synchronized, their titles and tags will be changed, affecting tasks not related to obsidian. For me, it's fine to sync with a specific tag or a specific list in ticktick.

side note: Especially in relation to the Tasks plugin (which is recommended in your readme). Many people most likely use the option to only pick up tasks that have the #task tag for Tasks plugin, so having the option to set the ticktick tag to the same (e.g. #task instead of #ticktick) would be helpful.

only pick up tasks that have the #task tag for Tasks plugin

Good suggestion. I will investigate. My, minor, concern: Tasks does special processing with the "Global tag". I want to make sure TickTickSync doesn't interfere with that and vise versa....
