[Q&A] How to convert regular not into TaskNote?

[craziedde]

Hi,

Is there any easy way to convert regular note into Tasknote?

Hi @craziedde . The easiest way would be to add a "task" tag to the frontmatter of the note. From there, tasknotes will pick it up!

Will try that, thank you

@callumalpass that doesn't seem to be the case anymore, amirite? It seems that you also have to add some required frontmatter. When I create a blank note with #task somewhere in the body, TaskNotes does not pick it up... if I then copy/paste TaskNotes frontmatter from another task to this new task, it does get picked up. I'm not sure which frontmatter fields are stricly required though.

You could also use a template with the frontmatter, and assign it to any note that you want to make into a task.

I use the Make.md plugin, which allows you to assign specific properties to any file within a "space" (which is basically a folder). Any note I create in that space automatically gets the task tag.

Good idea

Yes, I tried make.md and it's quite nice... But a bit too much for my daily need. Thank you for idea tho
