When attempting to copy a link to a project/task in the note field of another task, it just gives me texted info about the task/project instead of a direct link that I can click on to go to the task/project.
I do not have this problem on Mac. Only on IPad. It is really killing my workflow.
Please advise.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I haven’t.
So essentially, It is “Copy as Link” that seems to be missing on iPad. This option appears on Mac.
I used to be able to trick it by Share, Copy and pasting into a task title which would produce the link for which I would then move straight into the notes field.
If I attempted to paste directly into the task notes field, it would not generate the correct format. Now, my workaround no longer seems to work all the time
OmniFocus 3 for Mac has a Copy as Link command. As you discovered, this feature isn’t available on OmniFocus 3 for iPhone and iPad. On the iPhone/iPad, copying a task puts TaskPaper code on the clipboard.
To get around this limitation, you can install the Copy Link to Selected Object plug-in from the Omni Automation website. You’ll get instructions for installing this plug-in when you tap the Download Plug-In button.
On a side note, Copy as Link is one of the many new features being added to the iPhone/iPad in OmniFocus 4 (currently in TestFlight).
I hope this helps!
Thank you, Tim.
Thank you Tim. I shall look into your workaround.
Thanks Tim, it worked for me!
