What I did: Created a note → attempted to drag, and then link, in a reminder and calendar event from the right timeline pane; did not work. Also tried to find a link or lookup function to pull/link these items into the note; not successful
What happened: no success. I can create new reminders from within the note, but can’t figure out how to do anything with existing reminders. I can’t figure out how to do anything with calendar events, aside from link them as the title (not in the body) to a note/new note, but that’s not at all what I need to do.
What I expected: in the body of the note, have existing reminders and calendar events show (linked to the actual objects would be fine) wherever I want them to
Calendar events can only be linked to a note (by clicking/tapping the calendar icon in the top right corner of the note next to the title) and cannot appear inside the note. Reminders can, you can simply drag them from the calendar on the right into the text (make sure the cursor is blinking inside the note)
Dragging Reminders in on Mac works…although the title of the reminder doesn’t come in, it’s just an alarm clock icon. Is there a way to get it to pull in the title, too?
Oh that would be WONDERFUL! That would streamline these processes so well. A sample problem this would solve can be seen in my current simple flow of:
I type a todo task into my Today note (this todo already has a Reminder for it)
I drag in the existing reminder from the sidebar, placing it on the same line as the todo in the previous step
By simply allowing me to drag in the Reminder with title (and date/time and List and tags, if possible) as step #1, my work getting this task/Reminder into the note is done in 1 step. Then, if marking the task’s radio button complete would also update the reminder as completed, that’d also be great.
I’d be happy to sketch these out better or talk further… not that I’m presuming all or any of this will actually be chosen as feature adds/changes . But I do think these sorts of functionality improvement get Agenda closer something like an ideal app, and even further differentiates it from NotePlan.
