Task Management with Kanban's Tasks as Kanbans

Solved it!

Ended up relying solely on QuickAdd by creating two macros.

(0. Created the main “Projects Board” manually)

  1. Add to Projects Kanban Board Macro:

  • Add Project Kanban: Template choice with File Name as “{{Value:Project Name}} Blah 12123123.md”, created in “Project” folder, and is opened afterwards
  • Add Project Task: Simple Capture to the “Projects Board”, with Task format, and inserting after “## To Do” at end of section, with format “[[{{Value:Project Name}} Blah 12123123]]”
  1. Add to Project Kanban Board Macro:

  • get_active_file_name: this was the “tricky” part, had to store a ‘.js’ file in my Vault with the following script:

  • Add Project Sub Task: Simple Capture to the active file, with task format, inserted after “## To Do”, at the end of section, with format “[[{{VALUE:Task Name}}-{{VALUE:ActiveFileName}}]]”
  • Add Project Sub Task Kanban: Template choice with File name as “{{VALUE:Task Name}}-{{VALUE:ActiveFileName}}.md” and in the “Sub-Tasks” folder, is opened afterwards

Wanted to have the parent “ActiveFileName” (or its id) so that I can know to which Project each Sub-Task relates to.

Thanks!
