TaskNotes integration

[sergeict]

I tried both impressive plugins today. Thanks for writing Project Manager for Obsidian.

I noticed a problem today :

1. notes bearing the property "pm-task : true" cannot be imported with "Project Manager: import notes as tasks", altough when the property is not present or not true, it works ;
2. notes MUST bear the "pm-task : true" property for PM tasks to be recognized and be useful in TaskNotes.

A seamless integration is thus not working for the moment as tasks should be created from within both plugins.

The system reports that "pm-task : true" causes the note to be skipped (as reported by Obsidian).
I suppose that it has a reason, such as initial internal task processing in your code.

So,

• suggestion 1 : remove the test on "pm-task : true" property - best solution if not absolutely necessary in your code
• suggestion 2 : allow the user to add a property-value pair in the settings, so that PM tasks bears the info to be recognized by taskNotes (easy)
• suggestion 3 : add the previous one at the project level too (so that some PM tasks may or not appear in the whole vault)

Tested workaround

• workaround 1 : use additional field like isTaskNote: true -> does not work since the fied addition uses a field ID, not a valid name
• workaround 2 : use a tag such as "#TN" as the tasknote flag and regen its .base - must be done manually in each PM created note, so this is tedious and error prone but works

I hope this helps to fix the problem.
Have a good day

Addition : workround 2 is basically useless since the task parameters are not copied (status & priority are the defaults from a hard-coded list of options, not even the one we define in PM setup), the start date becomes the import timestamp and the remaining TaskNote fields are lost.

So, we're back to square one. Either using PM to enter the tasks and use TN as a read-only tool or keep the tools separate, meaning no integration.

This can be easily reproduced from a simple up-to-date vault with bases, PM end NT plugins enabled.

We are working on providing the way to integrate with other plugins, especially with TaskNotes. It's on a high priority list

Thanks for the info. I'll be available for testing if you need.
I quickly browsed the code yesterday. In the long term, getting rid of the IDs seems the way to go because is sticks to the obsidian philosophy of keeping the notes readable and useful even without a plugin.
