[FR]: Use NLP to populate scheduled AND/OR Due Date

[hokfujow]

Feature Description

Currently it seems that depending on one setting, dates can be treated as either due or scheduled but not both. I tried putting in things like "Start Friday Due March 13th" or "Scheduled Friday Due March 13th". TN seems to always ignore one of these and puts another date into either scheduled or due, based on the preference setting. It would be very helpful to use a few trigger words to distinguish the type of dates and populate whichever are specified.

@hokfujow I have noticed the same. I cloned the nlp repo and saw this is actually working correctly but the supported strings don't include "scheduled" on its own.

dateTriggers: {
    due: ["due", "deadline", "must be done by", "by"],
    scheduled: ["scheduled for", "start on", "begin on", "work on", "on"],
},

So, from this:

• "Scheduled Friday Due March 13th"
  • Works incorrectly, due date is correct but scheduled date is not picked up.
• "Scheduled for Friday Due March 13th"
  • Works correctly, has both a due date and scheduled date

@callumalpass would it be alright if I update the lines in the english file for the nlp package to the below?

dateTriggers: {
    due: ["due", "deadline", "must be done by", "by"],
    scheduled: ["scheduled for", "start on", "begin on", "work on", "on", "scheduled", "start"],
},

Thanks @UniqueClone for figuring this out! Yes, I think that's a sensible change

Great, I've created this PR on the nlp repo: callumalpass/tasknotes-nlp-core#1

So does this mean it will be in a future release?
