Re-written for more flexible list creation.
almost 3 years ago
Added support for adding multiple items (one per line)
Takes the lines in the current draft, and appends them to a running list of items. Intended for easily updating lists you will refer to later, for things like movies you want to watch, or errands you have to run.
The action identifies lists based on the tag “list”. It will prompt for you to select from any existing drafts you have with the tag “list”, or you can enter the name for a new list to create and append to.
A more detailed explanation of usage is available in the related forum tip.
