I would like to be control Toggl Track tags within Obsidian

[euphonics]

I would like to tag my time entries using existing Toggl tags and have the ability to create new tags when needed.

Currently, it seems that project selection and time entry description are supported, but tags are completely inaccessible via the plug-in.

This could be achieved by adding a "tags" field input beneath the "description" text input when you are starting a new timer.

Great plug-in, keeps me out of my web browser and in Obsidian where I need to be. Thank you.

Thanks for your feature request! Since I personally don't use tags, I'd like to discuss the implementation of this feature with you in some more detail.

The Toggl API should make it quite easy to work with tags. The reason I hadn't yet implemented it is that not many people use them, and I wasn't sure how to best show it in the UI.

Is a simple entry field underneath the timer description where you put your tags separated by commas satisfactory? Or would you expect something more fancy (e.g. tag autocompletion).

Would you prefer that tags on your active timer are visible in the sidebar view, or do you prefer them hidden under e.g. a popover?

Feel free to message me on Discord if you prefer to discus the details more directly (username Maximio#6460).

I sent you a friend/dm request on Discord if you want to talk further. @arvn

Autocomplete is handy because I don't remember the exact names of my tags. If I spell a tag wrong in Obsidian I don't wan't to accidentally create new tags. Auto complete will prevent that problem.

Would you prefer that tags on your active timer are visible in the

sidebar view, or do you prefer them hidden under e.g. a popover? I prefer the tags to be visible in the sidebar view, although I suppose ideally there would be an option to show/hide them in the plug-in settings. Exposing the current tags would actually be an improvement on the Toggl track web application, which currently doesn't show me which tags I have assigned to my current timer.

--- Brief comment on why tags are useful to me and how I use them: I like to keep track of how much time I spend doing particular activities for a particular project. I am a (wannabe) screenwriter, and each of my screenplays has its own project in Toggl track. But a single project is composed of a bunch of different types of activity. Research, brainstorming, outlining, writing pages, editing, etc. I use tags for these activity categories so that I can get insight not only into how long I have spent on a particular project, but also into what types of activity are taking up the most time for a particular project or across all projects. How long did I spend researching on this project versus this other project? How much time did I spend editing between the months of January and March? Etc. This is much more useful information for reflecting on the process than simply knowing how much time I spent on the project in general, or relying upon the unstructured difficult-to-analyze free-text descriptions. I no longer use Toggl track for work, but this kind of information is also very useful to have one reporting on the status of a project to a manager or client. It's a great plug-in, thanks for your hard work. again, message me on discord if easier.

I'd love to see tags implemented. I only use them for one purpose, but a very important one, for my productivity tracking process: I separate my work along the lines of deep and shallow work (cf. Cal Newport). Hence, I tag timers with #deepWork if it requires a lot of concentration, e.g. content creation. Therefore, it would be very useful to be able to see in the sidebar whether I tagged something as deep work because sometimes I forget to set the tag. Auto-complete is not necessary, but would be appreciated.

Thanks for letting me know the importance of tags to your workflow! I’ll add this functionality in the next release.

Awesome. Thank you!
