I often take structured notes in Workflowy, which is an infinitely nested outliner.
When I copy notes from Workflowy and paste them in Agenda, 2nd-level bullet points get marked by Agenda as todos
Example : in Workflowy I have (direct copy-n-paste) :
Toplevel
In Agenda I get
I have to manually revert every 2nd-level bullet to a bullet point, which is time-consuming and annoying
Thanks for the clear example, that made it easy to find. This is a bug at our end and I know exactly what is going on.
When you copy a nested list from a web app, the marker shape for each level comes along with it. The browser default is a filled bullet for level 1, a hollow circle for level 2, and a square for level 3. Our paste code turns a hollow circle marker into an unchecked checkbox, because at some point someone read “circle” as the empty checkbox glyph rather than as a bullet shape. Filled bullets and squares are handled correctly, which is why only the second level goes wrong, and why it looks so arbitrary.
Nothing to do with Workflowy, and nothing you can fix by changing how you copy. I will get the second level treated as an ordinary bullet like the others.
In the meantime, if the reverting is getting painful, pasting as plain text with Shift-Command-V and rebuilding the indents is the quicker route for a big paste.
Kind regards,
Drew
