Why can't tasks embedd PDFs?

Post by ConLand »

Hi, when I add a PDF as either link/attachment in Notes, it displays the PDF.

However, in a Task, this is not the case in 11.0.1. What is the reason for this, as both are in the "Text" pane?

Can this be added for Tasks as many of my tasks have PDFs I need to refer to.

Thanks

To add, if you convert a task with a PDF attached/linked to a note, it will show the embedded PDF!

So it appears that this is a bug in 11.0.1. Can you confirm?

Feature or bug?

And if a feature, can you add displaying attached/linked pdfs to tasks?

It's by design. If more people request this feature, we'll develop it.

It seems like this isn't highly requested. Therefore I think it's better for me to do a workaround, and withdraw such a request.

No need to withdraw, let it be for a while and gather some traction :)
