Feature request: Adaptive Description box + append task

[tecnoborder]

Not sure if I need to open different issues here:

1. I would like when I add a long text as a task that the description field enlarge supporting multiple rows. 2) Furthermore, an option to add a comment as a sub-stack would be awesome.
2. I would also need to set an option to save the task in a specific location. So far I have a quick add command that appends a task to an "archive note". With the task plugin, I need to go to that note, and, in editing mode add a task (it is more time-consuming). Moreover, quick add is limited and I cannot set a task as repetitive
3. It would be great if the description filed is enabled for @ and # to link notes. This is the power of obsidian, weird that this is not possible here.
4. I would also love to have an option to delete a task from the pop-up window if I select it from a task view. (e.g. due today) As of now, I have to delete the description and the date but I still need to go to the archive note and delete the -[ ] task box.

Hi @tecnoborder, thanks for the suggestions.

Not sure if I need to open different issues here:

In this project, issues are for reporting bugs, and this is a request for features.

So I'll convert this to a discussion.

In general, I would say that:

• it's easier for the development team to have one topic per ticket,
• and if you haven't done so already, it's also a great help if people search through the existing discussions beforehand, to try to avoid spending time dealing with duplicates.

1. I would like when I add a long text as a task that the description field enlarge supporting multiple rows.

Nice idea. I can't see another request for it previously.

2. Furthermore, an option to add a comment as a sub-stack would be awesome.

What's a sub-stack?

2. I would also need to set an option to save the task in a specific location. So far I have a quick add command that appends a task to an "archive note". With the task plugin, I need to go to that note, and, in editing mode add a task (it is more time-consuming). Moreover, quick add is limited and I cannot set a task as repetitive

Tasks is all about clicking in a line in a file, opening the Add/edit dialog, and adding or updating a task at that line. So I'm not sure if it fits, but I'd be interested to see how much interest there is in it.

If you would like us to track the suggestion, please do create a new Ideas Discussion, for this topic. Thanks.

3. It would be great if the description filed is enabled for @ and # to link notes. This is the power of obsidian, weird that this is not possible here.

I think that what you mean here is for auto-completion to be supported with the Description field.

This is requested already. Please up-vote #329.

But what would you like the @ to do... Is that about the 'Natural Language Dates' plugin?

If so, please add a note about that to #329, so we can make sure it is tested if/when that area is worked on.

4. I would also love to have an option to delete a task from the pop-up window if I select it from a task view. (e.g. due today) As of now, I have to delete the description and the date but I still need to go to the archive note and delete the -[ ] task box.

Pretty sure that has been requested a few times before.

Yes, here are the discussions that include delete. Please up-vote any that match your request.

thanks for the comments! I meant sub-task. e.g.: write an essay and add a description as a sub-task (indented task) such as: the essay will be about a new book.
For point 3 I meant to add hashtags and link current notes when I create a task. When I use quickadd I can recall hashtags and notes and this is awesome as I usually tag my task.

See existing discussion threads on sub-tasks.
I also like the idea of 1, especially on mobile! Upvoting that!

Thanks @AnnaKornfeldSimpson
I think I'm going to struggle to interpret the up-votes on this one, over time, because as currently phrased, it asks for 5 different largely unrelated things. Which one or one's was the vote for?
@tecnoborder That is another reason why it's really helpful to have different topics separated.
