Really loving this plugin! Will future automation allow for reoccurring cards? For example, if I add a new card and specify that it reoccurs weekly, then once I complete it a new one will appear in a chosen column?

yes a autogenerating code for tasks can work very well with this plugin. I wonder if another plugin can do that. the only one i know is daily planner which I can’t make it work first time i tried and i think not getting updated any longer.

Perhaps Tasks might? I use it and Kanban but not together.

I use Drafts app for capturing - is there any possible way to code a drafts action to append text “under a heading” so I can add directly to my Kanban obsidian inbox?

Edit what about using with GitHub - Vinzent03/obsidian-advanced-uri: Advanced modes for Obsidian URI?

Yes, this is in the near-future plans!

This should be doable sometime in the next few months. I’m currently working on a public-facing API for the kanban plugin that will allow other apps and plugins to manipulate kanban boards.

Fantastic - very grateful

Hi great plug-in!

Is it possible to have a [[note]] automatically entered into a default column on a Kanban board by, say, just dragging that note into the default note folder for that board?

For example, I have a board called clients, where each card title is a [[note]] representing that client. I would like to create new clients on the fly, knowing that once I drag the [[client note]] into the “clients” folder, the card is automatically created on the clients board and linked to [[client note]].

Is this possible?

Not at the moment, no, but support for things like this is on the roadmap

Fantastic plugin, thank you! I use Kanban for writing and each task is a paragraph in my draft (see pic).

How difficult would it be to offer an option to compile from Kanban?

In Markdown, a board it is basically a list of tasks with headings. How difficult would it be to replace all task code with ![[…]] for all linked notes and then compile the text from all linked notes into one markdown file using the Kanban structure as the table of contents?

Thanks!

Hello I have a question… How can/Can I hide or omit certain headers from being parsed as lanes?
My intent is to do all the project from the kanban card project. Say I have Objectives, Contacts, Meetings & Events and Tasks under Project A. Under Tasks, I have my lanes; Backlog, Next, Active & Done
Is there a way to omit or hide the Objectives, Contacts & Meetings & Events headers/lanes?

The plug-in displays this weird behaviour where if I create a new kanban note → type in the lanes I want → go to markdown mode → type in a few ### level headers → go to kanban mode; the ### headers are not there.
I then save this note as a template in my templates folder.
But if I create a new note and paste that template in, all the headers become a lane…
I would love it if only certain level of headers or headers with #lane tag only became lanes… Throwing it out there…

You could use the longform plugin to compile as long as all your paragraphs are in the same folder :slight_smile:

Thanks! I will go with Longform. Looks like I can even rearrange scenes in the correct order, amazing :thinking:

Hi @mgmeyers! Loving Kanban so far! I wasn’t sure to post this here, but a friend pressured me to, so here we are.

I managed to “hardcode” dataview compatibility into Kanban, and works well so far. There is one small issue with the rendering of the tables, so I would like to know what you think about it.

Github Issue.

Is there anyway I can use Kanban board with Publish?

Can we please consider adding an open to have a unique string/suffic added to created notes file names?

often with repeating tasks eg prayers “pray for my wife” or repeating tasks or other routines we want to have a note for details./

But in the long term the co-incidence of identical file names will cause them to be merged when they should be separate

eg files name generated = card name + string or “date” …

I have installed the Kanban plugin and created some lists in a folder. In these lists, there are some cards.
Great! the plugin works just fine.
BUT each time I click on the folder containing the lists, the plugin creates a new list, titled Kanban!
Why does it do this?
I don’t want the plugin to behave in this manner, how do I prevent this from happening?

Thanks for developing this plugin - I am finding it very useful. Is there any ability to be able to move cards from one board to another (i.e. between files) without the selected card disappearing from the first board it has been taken from (i.e. can it be automatically replicated)? It is not a big problem if not (I can always make a back up to resurrect the first set of kanban boards to their original form once I am done) but I am using them as a drag and drop system for atomic notes and it would be very helpful! Thanks again!

Yes it would be useful to be able to copy a card with option/alt drag and drop.
