Thanks for spotting! Please grab v79 which I hope fixes this for you.

 

Yeah thanks much better!

I just discovered this, and it looks awesome! One thing I didn't see anyone ask and don't see being supported (I think) is adding reminders to a specific section. That's not possible right now, correct?

Sorry not sure what you mean by specific section? If you're talking about lists, that's already possible, see the first post

Well there is specific Sections functionality within Lists - https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/reminders/remn14bf0e77/mac.

 

So in the screenshot below you can see that "Danny", "Ashley" and "Olivia" are different sections within Family Tasks list. If I do "r addthis in <listname> list" it would create new section 'Others' and add there. What would be great is being able to "r addthis in Family Tasks/Ashley list" or something like that.

 

On a similar note, does Alfred support auto-completion for options? Let's you start typing "r addthis in groc", press tab or other key, and it would auto-complete list name to 'groceries' (assuming that list exists).

To chime in here, afaik this is not possible. Apple's SDKs for calendar events and reminders are quite underdeveloped and have been for years. I can find no reference to reminder list sections in the documentation (e.g. here or here), or even the way older nested reminders. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though 🤗

Ah ok, I'm still a luddite on Sonoma so haven't seen this. But no, unlikely this will get added.

Bingo. This is why I gave up actively developing this workflow some time ago. The energy goes towards better apps for users, not better systems for developers. Which is… fair enough?

This I don't know. I suspect not possible with this workflow, because it would require pulling data out of reminders at a reasonable speed, which is very much not possible for going on 7 years or so.

Understood. Well, thanks for following this up 🫡
