Yet another ToDO list question(actually filter problem)

[Paul Boughner]

I have a journaling/issue tracker/workflow that I am using to generate a to do list by encapsulating key parts of a journal entry like @@.hl_ToDo this is broke@@.

I would like to include that encapsulated text so that the filter has this as well as the title link.

So I open a new journal entry, add a project number as a header, then start clacking away as fast as I can track the conversation. When done, I review it and highlight the things that need to be addressed and close it. Later, I open the ToDo list and see the titles that have the ToDo highlights and have to open the journal entries to remember what they were about.

Can this be done?

The entries would read:

2019 Jul 27 1131

!!!14909 Addition of Reject Sequence

Installed...........................now the @@.hl_ToDo robot hangs at reject feed@@ when..............

2019 Jul 31 1402

!!!15229 Remote VB Test

Received new...........................the @@.hl_ToDo commisioning password did not work@@ as detailed..............

so the ToDo links would then look like:

2019 Jul 27 1131 - robot hangs at reject feed

2019 Jul 31 1402 - commisioning password did not work

14554 HitList

15221 HitList

Is "Yet another ToDo list" a plugin? I don't find it with a quick search. Could you link to it?

<:-)

[Paul Boughner]

Nope, not a plugin. It's more a way of using the tagging, naming conventions, forms, and css to have TW5 churn my information the way I think about it. I tried to make the title clear as a question about a to do list filter problem.

Check out my CherryPicker plugin to see if is of use.

When TW 5.1.20 is released any time soon there are a few things that can be improved in CherryPicker.

Yep, that would do what I want. I will need to pull it apart as have more than just one category. Like endOfWeekReview, escalate, farmOut, lessonLearned, etc.

I live in the industrial side of things; mind giving me an orientation to the filter mechanics? I like tours.

Paul,

An alternate Approach I use is the provision of a log method to log notes by data and time and the tiddler on which they are done. This available for any tiddler you choose and they can be reviewed in reverse date order on the tiddler in question or in a single tiddler.

It would be worth considering then allowing a todo item to be generated or flagged on or to such a log entry. In some ways you are overlapping the meaning and this reduces your choice to manage them.

If you wish to consider this let me know and I will search for my prior work.

Regards

Post Script

Your example reminds me of a very effective ITIL Change management meeting we used to have for raising issues before or as a result of change. It used to last between 5 to 10 minutes only.

I am tempted to build a wiki just for change management review meetings.

Regards

If I recall, you can use as many "categories" as you want - it is just a matter of using different markers.

If I understand your question right and if I remember (I haven't looked at it in quite a while), the strategy was to iteraterat through the text with filter operators like splitbefore[marker] and removeprefix to get rid of what was already investigated, and then send the remainder to the macro again for a recursive iteration until the end.

My apologies Mat. I just opened the macro and started deciphering the documenting tiddlers. I suffer from making assumptions to quickly.

Everything I need is right there, thanks again!
