[Feature request] Week Planner: Allow to drag tasks between days

[gerardbosch]

Describe the bug

💡 This is a feature request

A task can be rescheduled within a day, but not between days.

Example (red arrow is not allowed)

This would require to move text (the task) from one file to another and determine where to place it on the destination file (which could already exist and contain text). So this is just an idea or something I would tell a nice-to-have.

I would love this!

The Task plugin provides a scheduled, start, and due date for each task. Perhaps one of those dates could be referenced to determine which day of the planner the item appears? Dragging could modify the text in the same way the text is modified when a task is dragged to expand its duration...

Please update and re-check.

Hi, I updated and tested it. Now the task can move across days. When you do this a schedule date is appended to the task line, but the task keeps sitting on the same daily note despite being rescheduled to another day.

I think that the line should be moved to the daily file it belongs to instead of sit on the previous/original daily file. This is probably more complex to do, but what do you think?

~~the update also used a different icon that the one tasks' suggests. ~~
^ As tested on 2024-11-03 dragging a block between day columns updates correctly now, and it doesn't affect other task properties/dates and it moves the task on the respective daily note it is scheduled for. 🎉

I was playing around with this functionality, and what I found is that it a task has another associated date (e.g. a Tasks plugin created date (➕) then a second scheduled date is added, but the display keeps using the first.

If I remove the other date so that only the scheduled date is on the task, then moving between days works as expected: the scheduled date is updated.

[ErikaRS]

One more detail: if a task has a scheduled date set with the Tasks ⏳ and it's in a daily note, then it will also add a second date instead of changing the existing date. The previous update applies to tasks that are not in a daily note file.

I add more feedback:

As I was mentioning above here the task text is not moved to the new daily note.

Also, the task cannot be moved at the top of the day (task without time), disregarding the original one has no time either.

@gerardbosch The task text actually should not be moved at all. I have most tasks located in project notes and in other places – not in the daily notes. Automatically moving tasks to the respective daily note instead of just changing their scheduled date would rip all of them out of their context. I do NOT want that suggested feature at all – it would completely break my setup. And I assume I'm far from alone with that.

That said I totally support the request to reschedule tasks by day without time (i. e. the top of the day tasks). Yes, please!
