## Copy markdown link after creating task
18+

The 'Add task' button in the modal is a split button with a dropdown menu. You can click the dropdown arrow to choose between three actions:
20+
21+
- **Add task** - Creates the task without copying anything
22+
- **Add task and copy link (app)** - Creates the task and copies a markdown link with an app URI (`todoist://task?id=...`)
23+
- **Add task and copy link (web)** - Creates the task and copies a markdown link with a web URL (`https://todoist.com/app/project/...`)
24+
25+
The markdown link format is `[task content](url)`, which you can paste directly into your Obsidian notes. The link will open the task in Todoist when clicked.
26+
27+
You can set your preferred default action in the plugin settings under "Task creation" → "Default add task action".

### Default add task action

74+
This setting controls the default action for the 'Add task' button in the task creation modal. You can choose between:
75+
76+
- **Add task** - Creates the task without copying a link
77+
- **Add task and copy link (app)** - Creates the task and copies a markdown-formatted link using the Todoist app URI
78+
- **Add task and copy link (web)** - Creates the task and copies a markdown-formatted link using the Todoist web URL
79+

This sets the initial button action when opening the modal, but you can change it per-task using the split button dropdown. See the [Add task command documentation](./commands/add-task#copy-markdown-link-after-creating-task) for more details.
