Pulling items from Reminders to Agenda to create a todo list

I’m hoping to copy Reminders due today to my daily note and turn them into to-do items. Is there a way to convert each item from text to todo’s so they’re ready to check off from the agenda? Here’s the basic shortcut I created that copies over plain text.

So this is what i use. I actually found it in the Bear subreddit and modified it for my needs.

Woah there’s so much in yours that could make my daily note even more useful. Obviously some adaptation will be needed for my needs, but this is so helpful and offers a great lesson in how to use Shortcuts more effectively. Thank you!

@Uberhosen - So gave my updated version of the shortcut a try this AM, and nearly everything worked as intended. One item that didn’t, however, was Reminders. It pulled not just items due today but also items due tomorrow - I didn’t touch the settings so it’s still supposed to pull just items due today. Any ideas why it would pull more than just today’s items and how to fix it?

Time zone issue?

Hmmm… Are they scheduled reminders with a time? I think it may have something to do with an all day reminder being seen by the shortcut at midnight? I haven’t figured out a fix for it, I’m afraid.
