Pick a Project and add to Things

Action

Posted by tommertron, Last update about 4 years ago

Pick a project from a list in a specified draft and send the title of the task to Things in the specified project. Anything below the title will show up as notes in the Things task.

To use, replace the UUID placeholder in the script with the UUID with your list of projects.

Thanks to the wonderful drafts community for helping with this!

Note - you will need a drafts list with exact names of your projects. I automatically run a keyboard maestro script once a day on my Mac to make sure this is updated. I’d suggest a similar set up if you use this with lots of Things projects, otherwise updating can get quite tedious.

Steps

script

// get the real UUID value from (i) info for your draft with the list
let d = Draft.find("UUID of Draft with project list");
// split the draft into an array of lines...
let list = d.content.split("\n");

var selections = []

// Loop to add each item to prompt selection. 

for (let item of list) {
    selections.push(item)
}

var p = Prompt.create();

p.title = "Pick a project";
p.message = "What project is it for?"
p.addSelect("project", "Project", selections, [], false)
p.addButton("OK");

var selected_proj = p.show();

//paste selection to clipboard
app.setClipboard(p.fieldValues["project"][0])
