FR : Conveniently change various properties of a card directly from the task card

[tu2-atmanand]

Problem Statement

The Edit task modal was created in an attempt to open a task specific view, to easily review everything about the task and also to update each of its properties easily through various input elements.

Also, the main reason for having a modal/window instead of directly updating the properties from the task card itself, just like how the Kanban plugin allows user to do is because, psychologically the time window which we get when we click on the edit button, which opens the edit task modal and then we find the input field/property which we want to change. In this time window our brain gets the time to think whether this change which we are doing to the task is it really necessary. This is the exact design followed by various popular softwares like Trello, Jira, GitHub projects planning, etc.

But this feature request is not about updating the whole task, but only few/all of its properties.

Possible Approach

Through the approach of Obsidian menu, various menu options can be implemented to easily change few of the properties of the task without exactly opening the edit task window.

And using sub-menu options, user can easily select the values for the specific properties like priority, dates, dependencies, etc.
