Make the date field configurable for daily notes plugin compatibility (not forced to universal date)

[Lens-93]

Problem Description

When using the Task Board plugin together with the Daily Notes , any task captured from a daily note automatically gets its universal date set to the current date. This causes a fundamental workflow issue:

• In task management, universal date typically refer to scheduled date or due date.
• However, the date a task is created and noted down in a daily note is often the created date, thus not the same as when it’s meant to be executed.

This conflation of “created date” and “scheduled/due date” reduces the usefulness of this function.

Expected Behavior

I hope the Task Board plugin can enhance its integration with Daily Notes by allowing users to choose which date field should be automatically populated with the Daily Note’s date, instead of always using universal date.

Suggested Solution

Add a new setting option for Daily notes plugin compatibility, with a dropdown / radio buttons allowing the user to select one of the following fields:

• universal date (current behavior, for backward compatibility)
• created date
• start date
• scheduled date
• due date
• none (do not automatically set any date field)

Thank you for considering this improvement!

Hi @Lens-93 !

This is a nice idea! I was thinking of improving the "Compatibility settings" section. Maybe, your suggestion can help to provide a drop-down where user can select which date property they want to get auto-populated with the note-name if its a daily note.

I accept this feature request and will implement it soon...
