▶️ Quick tasks entry with tags picker
What This Workflow Does
It's a quick task entry workflow that lets you tag the new task with one or more tags from your vault. The task is then inserted next to a placeholder in your daily note.
The result will:
- Prompt you for a short text
- Fetch the list of tags from your vault
- Let you select one or more of them
- Insert both as a new task at a placeholder in your current daily note
Please note:¹ The workflow assumes there’s a current daily note.
