Multiple metadata values with the same key on the same task #16

Closed evanp closed 3 years ago

evanp commented 6 years ago

I think that this is OK, according to the current spec:

2018-03-15 Multiple metadata values with the same key on the same task label:question label:invalid

Nothing in the spec currently says that the key names need to be unique in a single task. Is that everyone else's understanding, too? I know that widely-used keys like due and t are typically unique on a line, but I could see using metadata for other data like tag or with-person.

I've made the same assumption. It makes sense for some things, while not for all.

As an example where it can make sense, say I put two copy-pasted links into a single note. I end up with two http or https tags.
