[Feature Request] Possibility of attaching file, note or event

[AyelGoth]

Allows you to attach a note, file, directory, or event to a task specified in the task application. This option can be used to track the various elements mentioned that belong to a project or a task. Linked elements could be listed in a tab called Inventory.

linking emails from the mail app would be the best

I agree with this feature request, I would love to see a 'drag and drop' feature to attach a file to a task.

Hi,
would this be solved, if this is implemented? #534

[bcutter]

I use app "2Do" on iOS and Android to sync with NC Tasks. This app allows to attach and sync pictures, audio notes, due times, order of lists and action elements of tasks (like "go to URL" or "call XYZ"). This is synced to the server and made available to all 2Do endpoints, BUT - unfortunately - not shown in the NC Tasks web view yet. Therefore I strongly vote for implementing it to the webinterface.

I'd love to have this feature! It's the only thing I'm missing before switching to Nextcloud Notes (+ Tasks.org as an Android client) as my primary To Do app.

I second this, since wunderlist was bought and made into Microsoft ToDo I've been looking for a replacement. This seems to be the only feature missing to make this my main choice.

I'd love to be able to attach a file and see/download it on the web and in what ever app I connect Tasks to.

Would love to see this, sorry searched for the word Attachment.

Would love to see this. I'm currently using Nextcloud as the 'backend' so to speak, and my Android client is the wonderful Tasks.org. It supports attachments, but to my surprise, when it syncs with the server, the attachments are deleted because Nextcloud doesn't support it. A total bummer..!

Since the Deck app already supports attachments, maybe you could have a look how it's done there to make it also possible here?

Besides that Tasks does not support attachments yet, I don't think it's the fault of Nextcloud (server) that the attachments get lost when syncing. This page Synchronization states that Tasks.org does not sync attachments to CalDAV servers (actually, to no type of servers).

Edit: There is also an issue for attachment sync over CalDAV: tasks/tasks#1095

The thing is that the Deck app is not (really) a CalDAV client. So they could realize their own implementation of attachments without caring for a common public standard. Hence, the proper comparison would be the Calendar app, which also doesn't support attachments 🙈

We could of course do it the same way as the Deck app and not care about CalDAV at this point, but that would mean that attachments would not sync to other clients and would only work in the Tasks application in the browser (given that only few clients support attachments sync via CalDAV that might not be a big problem even).

Apologies. I assumed it to be an NC problem exclusively. Thanks for pointing me to this!

[iMartien]

Since I use NextCloud as a filingcabinet I would love to be able to create a task from a file.

For example I have a bill scanned to an PDF-file -> right click that file and create task, to remind me to pay this bill.

I would love to be able to create a task from a file.

That is a different feature request.

[IgorA100]

I really want to be able to attach documents, or at least a link.
Similar work with calendar events is already underway: nextcloud/calendar#4251

[patpac9]

Please this feature would be soo great.

Leaving this here as reference implementation: nextcloud/calendar#4251
