Migrate Incomplete Tasks
One-click move incomplete tasks from a daily note to today
A powerful automation feature that helps you maintain task continuity by moving unfinished tasks from previous days to today's daily note.
How It Works
When you open today's daily note, Octarine checks the last 7 days for any incomplete tasks. If found, a migration button appears allowing you to move all unfinished tasks to today with a single click.
Using Task Migration
Automatic Detection
- Checks daily notes from the last 7 days (not just yesterday)
- Only appears when incomplete tasks are found
- Shows which date tasks will be migrated from
Migration Process
- Open today's daily note
- Look for the "Migrate Incomplete Tasks" button in the breadcrumb
- Click to move all incomplete tasks to today
- Tasks are removed from the original date
Migration Details
- Adds "Migrated from [date]" above transferred tasks
- Updates front-matter metadata to track migrations
- Places tasks at your cursor position (doesn't overwrite content)
