Is there a plugin for if i have a task in file x when i click on it to complete it, i want the text of the task to appear as a new task in file y? like it moves between steps? kind of like jira/other task software does but in files
It would appear as a completed task, rather than as a new incomplete one, but you could use the Archiver plugin to partially achieve this.
The Archiver plugin creates a log of past completed tasks. This log can be at the bottom of the working file, or in separate file. I don’t know whether you can have multiple log files.
I think, I have kinda understood what you are trying to achieve. These kinds of features in the Project Workflow Management softwares like Jira or Trello are called Automation Actions. Based on some rule, some action is executed. I was also trying to look for such kind of functionality in Obsidian.
But finally I decided to develop a plugin for the same myself : Task Board.
The main motive behind this plugin is to bring the power of GitHub Projects Planning inside Obsidian. (the plugin is in process of getting published in the Marketplace).
In Task Board, I have planned a feature called Task Actions, which might help to do what you are trying to achieve. Ill appreciate if you could elaborate your request in the feature request for Task Board and will soon going to implement the functionality inside the plugin.
