Add a "details" field

[dlccyes]

Simple request: add a "details" field in edit mode

There're currently 3 input fields

• Description
• Due
• Recurrence

and having an additional "details" field that let you write a little more details about this task will be much helpful.

something like this

And maybe it can be shown in an expandable section in the preview mode?

It's easy to add this field to the modal, but where would the information be stored in markdown? Would it be a sub-item to the list item that is the task itself? To keep Tasks simple, I think it should be up to each user to define how they want to record additional data for a task and they can do that directly in markdown, no modal needed. The modal is supposed to help especially with dates and the global filter tag.

Agreed, then what about displaying the sub-bullets of the tasks in the query? Currently it only displays the top level right?

Right. At the moment it only displays the task itself without any sub-items. I wouldn’t add the sub-items as a default, as by default the overview shouldn’t be crowded. However, maybe at some point there will be a query option to include sub-items.

Implementation would be a little more involved, as Tasks does not read any sub-items from a checklist item. So at the moment, it couldn’t show this information as it doesn’t have it.
