[Feature Request] Creating tasks with sequential numbers? #11

Closed realliyifei closed 4 years ago

realliyifei commented 4 years ago

When using Things, we always need to create tasks with a shared name plus sequential numbers.

Example 1: chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3, chapter 4

Example 2: ML assn 09, ML assn 10, ML assn 11

Is it possible to create a script that generates them at once? For example, in example 1, we may just type: chapter {1-4}

It would be better to provide an option to choose creating tasks with sequential numbers or a task with multiple sequential checklists

Sorry, @yif-li, but adding a functionality for creating tasks is not on the plans. Because of the power of the built-in quick entry panel, I came to the conclusion this workflow cannot add any value to the UX despite in niche cases like yours.
