Track number of migrations

Feature Request
In my paper bullet journal, I would write an incrementing number next to a task every time I migrated it. If a task got to 3 or 4 migrations, it was a good indication either that it could be abandoned or that it should be prioritised. The option to display how many times a task has been migrated would be useful and not very imposing (especially if a togglable setting) within the bullet app.

    Perhaps every time a task gets migrated, the font for that task gets bolder or a tinge of some color increased... automatically (of course, make it a setting as not everyone is a professional procrastinator like myself).

    **Show past migrations** I want to know if I can review the progress of my tasks as the traditional way of bullet journal from my dashboard. For example , can the tasks icon be “>” meaning the task migrated, or be “<” meaning the task scheduled . Now when I migrated the task, it disappears from the dashboard and appears in the dashboard of the day I rearrange it, therefore I can't trace the progress how I deal with the task.

    But I sense you would also like some way of tracking the migrations as a separate thing

    **Persistent cancelled tasks** Hello, first of i really like this app, however one big thing I'm missing from using physical bullet journals is the persistence of non-completed tasks. In a paper journal when a task is moved to another day you can indicate its been moved and write it again elsewhere. Therefore, you can still see where the task was originally meant to be done. Currently, migrating the task shows no indication it was ever moved. Also, if a task is cancelled, on paper you would strike a line through it. In the app you can only delete the task so that it disappears like it was never there. Being able to see what tasks I missed or didn't get through on time is a big part of the organisation of a bullet journal, in my opinion.

    Hamish, is it possible to not group the cancelled tasks with the completed ones?

    I am missing things like this and indicating that a task has started which you’d do with a slash through the dot on a physical journal.

    You can actually cancel a task. Just tap on the task to the task details screen and at the top, you can cancel

    Keeping original items after migration

    I would like to keep a note or task on a specific day after migrating the item into other day in the calendar.

      +1 Sometimes it could be useful to add a note about what was done on the original day, if the task was started / attempted but not finished for some reasons.

      Such tasks could go into a separate Migrated/Cancelled section, for example. This is rather a default behavior for offline bullet journaling, so would be great to have it here as well.
