That’s not a bad accommodation. Thanks for the idea.

Yes, though those are built in. What did you make those with? Scriptable? And, nitpicking, I wouldn’t be using toggles like that but rather a menu.
I’ll play with this idea.
No, this is a dialog made with OmniFocus OmniJS Automation. The image was taken with OF iPhone version.

Perhaps, using the class Form.Field.MultipleOptions to achieve this kind of dialog:
Screenshot from macOS OF version.

That looks nice. Is there a variant where just selecting one immediately executes?
And, how do I make a plugin that works off the share sheet using OmniJS? Which is what appears to be happening here.
Solitary actions, as far as I know, automatically appear in the share sheet.
Depending on your validate function, of course. I mean, if you set a restriction to show the plug-in if the number of selected tasks is greater than zero, then that plug-in is not going to appear in the sheet if no tasks are selected.

I think there isn’t a variant like that. You could make separate plug-ins for each one of your most used options, though. Like I did in one of my plug-ins.
I should note that I grouped all those options in a single Plug-In bundle.

And just to add to that, I believe now using a plugin bundle is no longer necessary; you can simply stick them in a folder and they will be grouped in the same menu 👍

I hate to admit it :-) but I’m not succeeding in getting a task’s Due Date bumped by eg 2 days. The recipes for bumping a javascript Date object by 2 days - as found on the web - give bizarre results.
Would someone mind posting a fragment for bumping a task’s due date by, say, 2 days? And I can take it from there. It’s literally, given a task object in a working plug in, bumping its Due Date. (I’ve got the plug in code otherwise working.)
Thanks!
Sure. Paste this code inside a text file with .omnifocusjs extension. I should this code only show the plug-in available if every task in the selection has a due date.
/*{
"type": "action",
"author": "unlocked2412",
"version": "0.1",
"description": "Bump a task's due date by 2 days"
}*/
(() => Object.assign(
new PlugIn.Action(selection => {
// main :: IO ()
const main = () => {
// addDays :: Int -> Date -> Date
const addDays = n => dte => {
const dte2 = new Date(dte);
return (
dte2.setDate(n + dte.getDate()),
dte2
);
};
const
ts = selection
.tasks
.filter(task => null !== task.dueDate);
return ts.map(task => {
const
taskDate = task.dueDate;
return (
task.dueDate = addDays(2)(taskDate),
task
)
})
};
// MAIN -----------------------------------------
return main()
}), {
validate: selection =>
selection
.tasks
.filter(task => null !== task.dueDate)
.length > 0
}
))();

Thank you. Will paste and then dissect.
Update: Works nicely, thank you!

That looks very complicated. Is there no such basic functionality in the app itself?
I’m not really into scripting my todo environment.
Form.Field.Option gave me a “pick one from” list. It is a drop down list in Mac OS but not in iOS.
I also note that the share sheet lists the plugin on iOS but not iPad OS. I don’t know if that’s to be expected.
That’s certainly not expected. I can’t reproduce the problem in my iPad.
And then the plug-in seemed to fall off the share sheet on iOS when I tried to drag it too far up the share sheet - in edit mode. Strange. The plug-in is still installed and still working - on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It also is in the toolbar on Mac.
I should probably copy the code into a new plug-in .omnifocusjs file and see what happens.
I’m reading all the replies but I guess the answer to my question is: No?
I mean do you know how this works in Things? It’s built in, I press Command-S and then I get a window like this where I can also type in free form numbers, days, deltas, whatever.
After seeing this, I switched back to Things and couldn’t be happier.
