Applescript - add a note with tags

[Philippe Martin]

Hello,

This code (bookmark) works

set _new_item to (make new bookmark item ¬

with properties {name:"test"})

add tags {"T1", "T2"} to _new_item

While this code (note) does not

set _new_item to {make new note item with properties ¬

{name:"test", content:"this is text"}}

# Line below generates an exception [1]

add tags {"1", "2"} to _new_item

[1] Yojimbo got an error: Can’t make {note item id "9186FAF4-4721-44CD-9A83-43BDDBEE033D"} into type database item or tag collection.

Is there a mechanism to create a note and tag it at the same time?

Regards,

Philippe

Hi,

Actually got this [1] to work and realized my old eyes had missed that the bookmark example uses parenthesis and not curly brackets around "make"

For the non-scripter :-) one can do so via the Quick Input Panel (F8 by default).
