Posting a bulleted list in canvas opens each bullet as separate card

Posting a bulleted list in canvas could give you the option to make each bullet a separate card

This would save time when moving a bulleted (or numbered) list into a canvas, so that you can manipulate each bullet item separately.

Trello has a similar functionality in their todo lists. When you post things that are on multiple lines of text, it asks you if you want each line of text to be its own todo-list item, or be together as one item.

I think it would be nice to have this option in Obsidian canvases.

Thank you.

I was just looking for similar functionality to move a list into a canvas, reorder it, and move it back to a list. Seems like it hasn’t been made yet. Bummer.

For my own use case I’m considering to use the Kanban plugin to move the items around, before potentially collating them back to the main list at the end. But it would be so nice to have cards on a canvas to play with!
