Repeats: Work with Synced Lines #672
Description
Repeat Plug-in
Allow Synced Lines to play nice with the repeat extension.
There are times I'd like to be able to have a repeating item in my daily note, but keep the master repeating item in the note it belongs with. It seems like synced lines would do this, but when generating the repeat on a synced line, it behaves oddly. (And I know, you've stated synced lines are "fragile" and that's been my experience too... there's just so many places I wish i could use them!).
Currently: If I create a synced line of a repeating task in my daily note, then mark it complete and generate the repeat:
The daily note synced copy seems to disappear, and be replaced with the same task with the updated date (ie - it doesn't show the @done info, it simply shows me the NEW generated repeat.). (AND it turns out, it also puts a second copy of the generated next repeat ahead on the DAILY NOTE if would next be due! Interesting!!).
In the "home" note of the task - it also removes the finished copy and instead adds TWO copies of the now updated date.
I would love to be able to put a synced line of a repeating task into my daily note. Then, when marked complete - have the task in the DAILY note simply be complete, while the master repeating task in it's "home" note is also marked complete and generates the next repeat in the "Home" note - NOT the daily note.
My current methods involve linking to filters that show my repeating tasks so I can have a "place holder" for them in my daily note. It's workable, but certainly not as clear / clean / easy as being able to have a master list of tasks for my day in one place (the daily note).
Thanks for considering! I love the repeat plugin and us it heavily!
