Inline tags
It would be nice to add tags to a note inline instead of having to go up to the tag list above the note. This would make it very easy to tag a note while typing. E.g.
"Had lunch with #Bob today" is much easier to type than "Had lunch with Bob" and then having to go up and add the "#Bob" tag to the note.

Bill Admin MergedTagged tasks should be arriving alongside the master todo list in the next month-ish.

Aaron BJust to add to this. It would be really helpful if you do a daily note/journal format for your note-taking. As you work through the day just need to #client #meeting and whatever notes/tasks go with it. Would make finding the 'why' on the tag a lot more effective when cycling through lots of lengthy notes.

Chris DI would find this extremely useful also. Would be great to be able to add a tag to a task. An example would be David Allen's GTD principle of a task that can be completed in less than 2 minutes. A tag of "2:00" or "2Min" would help to quickly identify and/or sort those types of tasks when you have 5 minutes to spare.

Mike MergedI have not seen any information about task tags with the latest release of the Unified Task List. Is this still something that is coming?

Bill Admin MergedHey Mike, yes you are correct, we didn't announce/launch this specifically. What we did provide through the Unified Task List is a means to filter all tasks by the tag hierarchy of the note in which they reside. Internally, this has fulfilled all our hopes and dreams with regards to being able to browse tasks by topic. However, I think this task will be more officially done when we implement Inline Tags, so an individual task can be tagged and browsed to regardless of the creation context.

Brian Cohen AdminAs an update, we have discussed this feature and have a provisional plan to tackle it, but it's big and there are a few other big tasks in front of it. We'll get to it sometime in 2021.
In the meantime, there are a couple options to consider.
One option is to create notes with multiple tags and add tasks to those notes. For example, [[/todo/project-a/15 minute tasks]] would create a note with tag "todo/project-a". You can also add other tags to that note, like "todo/15-minute". Open the note (Quick Open -> "15" -> enter) and any task you add is tagged in your main "todo" parent tag (which can be marked a Shortcut) as both "project-a" and "15-minute." Consider applying multiple tag hierarchies to sift tasks into the contexts/work modes you operate from.
The simpler option for GTD/quick tasks is to just mark tasks as "15 minute" (there's a hotkey for it) and sort your notes/tasks by Task Score. 15 minute tasks percolate to the top quickly :) -

Dean McGrathThe issue with your suggestion is that in the same note I my have multiple tasks that have different contexts for execution. Any tag I add to a note will be applied globally to every task.
Example:
Task 1 Context = @computer
Task 2 Context = @phone
Your method would have both tasks show up in both contexts which is not the intended purpose of contexts.
Unless I am missing something -

Spencer OgdenAnother vote brainwashed by the Roam approach of Tags=Links. I find it very elegant, and nice to have a subtle format difference to separate purpose, but essentially have the same functionality underlying each.
As an additional suggestion for those looking to do this now, just use a quick [[ and a one word, or no space link as a tag. Doesn't show exactly how you might expect, and not great for searching, but not bad. -

Erik MergedHow would that work with Task Shortcuts? For example you have the shortcut Tasks/external but inside individual tasks are tagged with something else.

ErikI'm a little confused on the implementation of this. Would inline tags apply to a line, a header, or still the entire note?

AureliusI think it would be useful to have tags and links merged. As it stands, I often find myself doubling up: adding the page link within the note text, then adding a tag for the exact same concept. Tags are better for search and filtering, but page links come with the benefit of backlinks. I tend to make use of both features, so it would be more efficient to have them combined in most cases.

GadwoodMaybe this two feature request should be considered when planing this inline tag feature. The way of thinking is close to a certain point

KarlI like the idea of inline tagging especially if you can search from a # and @.

Justin MaxwellComing from roam this is a near dealbreaker for me. Why bother having roam import if you drop a huge part of the architecture?

ThomasLet me add the suggestion to assign notes to tags by drag&drop on the left pane.
Both directions could work:
* Drag the note to the tag on the left pane (with auto-expansion if collapsed), or
* Drag the tag from the left pane to the note. -

CibránHi, on August 18th you Bill said that the request "Add task tags" was merged into this one. As this request is classified as "Done" I wanted to make sure I'm not understanding wrong. Is this feature also included? Is it now possible to add tags to tasks? I couldn't figure the way. Thanks!!!
