Paste multi-line text into a card to create multiple cards at once.

[erikwestra]

Hi there,

Firstly, a huge thank-you to Matthew for creating this awesome plugin -- I use it every day, and love it!

Every day, I find myself having to add maybe a dozen new cards to my Kanban board, and it's kind of slow and klunky to do this at the moment, entering the items one at a time. Is there any chance you could add a shortcut like Trello has, where you can paste multi-line text when creating a card and it gives you the option of creating a separate card for each line. That would be a big time-saver when creating lots of cards at once, and I don't think it'd be too hard to implement.

Thanks again for creating use a useful plugin!

• Erik.

Thanks Erik! This should actually work on the latest version:

Let me know if this isn't working for you.

I also love your Kanban plugin, Mathew. However, pasting in multiple cards doesn't work for me. Is there a special format to use with the pasted text? (Double or single line breaks doesn't get me that result.) Is it included in the main Kanban plugin -- is there a setting or an extra extension needed? Many thanks for any help.

Wohoo! Thanks, Matthew, that works perfectly!

Hi Matthew, this was working until I upgraded the plugin to the latest version, and this feature went away! Any chance you could restore it, please?

Apologies @erikwestra. This should be working again. Obsidian changed some things in 0.12.5 that broke this.

now there is also a Split function for multiline cards:

Is this still expected to work? I'm not able to do it in the current version.

Edit: Did a quick work-around by switching to Markdown mode and prepending all my lines with - [ ] for now.
