Daily notes - is this doable?

Is it possible to perform this functionality by combining APIs

Assuming a tree

2024

  • 2024-01-10
    ++ [Text entry A]
  • 2024-01-11

Functionality
Given a piece of [text entry] and current date, add a node under the corresponding node for the date, and create the date node if it does not exist.

I have a vague feeling it can be done, but since one cannot search for the task_id based on title, one would need to get the full list, traverse the list to retrieve the node id, and then create a new node

Hello @zinoff ,

I use Checkvist for daily work notes so I have a log of things I’ve been working on.

There is no much support to support this, apart from a keyboard shortcut which inserts current date into note’s text - Ctrl ; or Cmd ; on Macs (same as in Excel).

I organize the nodes into the tree as per my wish.

Hope this helps a bit,

yes I get it,

I was thinking more of something for posting to Checkvist outside of Checkvist (ie on my phone), but I wanted to automagically post the item into the same day/node. I mean worse case I could create the day item, keep a reference to the ID for future sessions and create new items under it when I need it.

It is a good idea. But as for now, I don’t see how it could be implemented, even with API. Checkvist should allow importing to some marker/tag which would be placed automatically (or not) on some list node.

The only idea I have is to create “Daily notes” list and send notes from mobile there. And later, move them to the corresponding day item when the desktop is available.
A search like created: today or created: yesterday may be useful in this scenario.

Would it be a workaround for you?
