At the moment you can only schedule a task by copy & paste. Means NotePlan doesn't delete the task in the current daily note. Instead, it copies it to the target date and marks it as "scheduled". This is ok for some tasks, but not all. Many users have the habit of cutting tasks to the next day so that only the completed are left in the current or previous day. And some users want to add just the >date tag and link daily notes together instead of copying or cutting the task (which is not working at the moment and). The problem: In addition to the previously said, the fact that scheduling behaves differently in the project and daily notes create some confusion and friction. The solution: (see screenshot) Add options to the scheduling, remembering your last selection in regular and calendar notes: Link (just adds a >date to the task) Cut (cuts the task and pastes it to the target date) Copy (copies the task to the target date and marks current as scheduled) Additional changes required: Rename "move" to "schedule" at the top. Create a backlink for >date , except the state of the task is "scheduled" to avoid duplicates in the schedule by copy option. Remove preference "Only add date when scheduling in notes" (you can use the options at the bottom to control this). Add an info button to explain the differences. Remove "Complete Task" to reduce clutter. And consider removing "Cancel Task" ( Click on check-box cycles three states ) Shortcuts ( CMD+1... ) would behave according to the last selected option. For consideration: Add a "Clear" button to remove an existing link Add "move" section to move a task into a project note . Related: Call it schedule again Add "Cut & Paste" Task Moving UI Bug: "Mark as Scheduled" is missing an ellipsis User preferences: Redesign task scheduling preferences Eliminate task state "Postponed" Wording: more systematic terminology for "links"
