    1. ⚡️ Ideas
    2. Better filtering of options fields
    Mark Midlick Mark Midlick Dec 11, 2024

    I have #actions, #projects, #goals all associated with specific #areas

    When looking through the potential list of #projects an specific #action could be assigned in my Project field the ability to filter the #project options list by the #area already assigned to that specific #action would be useful

    2. Simple function: Nest Under New Parent
    Mark Midlick Mark Midlick Sep 18, 2024

    +1, Had a similar Idea

    Problem:
    The current functionality lacks a straightforward way to nest a group of nodes under a new parent, which is essential for organizing complex projects or documents hierarchically. Manually creating a new parent node and moving each item disrupts workflow.

    Why It's a Problem:
    I often work with large sets of nodes that need hierarchical organization. The absence of a command to group nodes under a new parent hampers efficiency. Additionally, the ability to name the new parent node based on a custom AI prompt would enhance productivity by providing context-specific summaries or action-oriented statements.

    Proposed Solution:
    Develop a "Nest Under New Parent" command:

    • ​1. Highlight Nodes: User selects nodes to group.
    • ​2. Activate Command: User activates "Nest Under New Parent"
    • ​3. Custom AI Prompt: User inputs a custom AI prompt (e.g., "summarize these into a single sentence").
    • ​4. AI Processing: System generates a summary or action-oriented statement.
    • ​5. Create Parent Node: New parent node is created with the generated text as its name.
    • ​6. Nest Nodes: Selected nodes are nested under the new parent node.
      This feature would streamline organizing and summarizing information, making it easier to manage complex data sets and enhancing workflow efficiency.
