Obsidian Integration: Change date and time when modified on Morgen

Enhance the existing Obsidian integration with Morgen by enabling automatic updates to the modification date and time whenever a note is edited through Morgen. This feature ensures that the metadata within Obsidian accurately reflects the latest changes made via Morgen, maintaining consistency and improving the reliability of note tracking.

Key Features:

Automatic Timestamp Update: Whenever a note is modified using Morgen, the corresponding modification date and time in Obsidian are automatically updated to reflect the change. Like ⏳ 2024-09-25 or a link like [[timestamp-with-hour-and-date]]Seamless Synchronization: Ensures that both Morgen and Obsidian remain in sync regarding the latest edits, preventing discrepancies in note histories.User Configuration: Provide settings that allow users to enable or disable this automatic update feature based on their preferences.

Benefits:

Accurate Tracking: Maintains precise records of when and where notes are modified, enhancing the ability to track changes over time.Improved Workflow: Streamlines the user experience by reducing the need for manual updates, allowing users to focus more on content creation and less on metadata management.Consistency Across Platforms: Ensures that all integrations reflect the most recent modifications, fostering a reliable and trustworthy note-taking environment.

Use Case: A user edits a note in Morgen to update project details. With this feature enabled, the modification date and time within Obsidian automatically update to match the changes made in Morgen. This ensures that when the user later reviews the note in Obsidian, the metadata accurately represents the latest edit, providing clear and up-to-date information.

    Unless I am misunderstanding this is already available. When Morgen edits a file in Obsidian, the modified date and time in Obsidian is recognized by default, just like any other edit.

    If you query for the default metadata in Obsidian through something like dataview, the modified time of a file updates with all edits including the ones from Morgen.

    Is there something I am missing here or can I close this request?

      Danny Hatcher (Customer Support) if I understand it correctly on ly the changed due date is synced back. Unfortunately Tasks plugin doesn't handle time, only date, but Obsidian day planner plugin (https://github.com/ivan-lednev/obsidian-day-planner) uses a clever workaround, maybe that should be used here too to sync back scheduled/due time to Obsidian.

      Máté: Ah, so you are looking for a due time on the tasks, not updated modified time for the file?
