Notes upon completion

[egauthier]

I've been use obsidian-tasks for a month or so, and wondering if there is any way to annotate completion. If there is, I can't figure it out.

For example, when I complete a task, there are times I would like to just put a quick not on the completion. For example: "Called and requested a quote." or something like that. So when I look at what I did during a certain time period, I can see the results. I know I could put a link to another Obsidian note, and track it there, which sometimes makes sense for larger tasks. However, for a simple task, just a quick sentence on how it was closed/resolved would be helpful.

Is this currently possible? Is there a best practice for this kind of thing?

Thanks.

There is not a built-in way to do this in Tasks.

Depending on context, I tend to do one of these: kinds of things

- [x] Do the thing (what I did)  ✅ 2022-04-24

- [x] Do the thing > what I did first > then next > then finally  ✅ 2022-04-24

- [x] Do the thing  ✅ 2022-04-24
    - What I did

The last one is less cluttered, perhaps, but does not show up in Tasks searches.

@claremacrae Thanks. That is what I thought, but thought I would ask anyhow.

While your last option doesn't show up in searches, it does show up upon hover, so that may be sufficient for my use case anyhow.

Thank you.
