Set the due time using summary

[hermann-osi]

Hello,
I like this app but I wonder if it's possible to set the due date/time from the summary like "restaurant today at 13h" or "meeting friday at 10h30" ?
I looked around and I could not find this possibility yet.

Thank you in advance

Hi @hermann-osi ,
sorry, no, this is currently not possible. I have thought about functionalities like that, but it's hard to interpret the text in such a way - especially if it comes to support for multiple languages. I think some AI stuff could help here, but I would need some time to investigate what could be possible.

Hey, I'm also interested in this feature. What about delegating the trigger to the users?

Set due date to tomorrow → @Tomorrow / @tom / @morgen
Set due date N hours from now → @in-3h / @in3h / @3h15m
etc.

No NLP needed - the syntax is unambiguous and language-agnostic.

Ah I understand. Indeed it would be a lot to add, nevermind then.
Do you know if there is a way to quickly set the time for start and due instead ? Currently, I have to set the same time twice in a specific order if I want them to be similar. (I have some app triggering with the start time like thunderbird and other app triggered with due time) Maybe there is a way to do it in one go.

Hi @hermann-osi ,
You can set a default start and/or due date when you create a new task in the settings. Is it that what you mean?

Hey I think plain universal 12:00 would work or just put none alphanumeric symbol like '@', '%' to avoid languages issues. And in case of not being able to avoid languages , just start with English and keep adding other . contributors would be will help out I'm sure.
