Edit or convert to file task

Edit or convert to file task works on the note you currently have open. Depending on what that note is, it either edits an existing file task or turns a normal note into one.

What it does, by context

The open note is What it does
An existing Operon file task Opens it in the Task Editor
A note with Operon task fields at the top Edits those fields
A normal note Converts the note into an Operon file task

When to use it

Use it to edit a file task you are reading without hunting for the command, or to promote a note you have been writing into a real task once it has become one. Converting keeps the note's body; it adds the task fields and an operonId. See Converting inline and file tasks.

This command only ever acts on the note you already have open, and it confirms before converting a normal note. To convert a note you have not opened, right-click it and choose Convert to Operon File Task… instead, which skips the confirmation and goes straight to the template picker. See Converting inline and file tasks.
