Drafts Directory: Process draft as menu

Action

Posted by @scripts4drafts, Last update over 2 years ago

This action selects a draft and prompts its content as a menu. The selected item in the menu is then appended to the current line.

The selected draft is:
- the first draft in a drafts query, which title equals the current line, or, if there’s none,
- the draft selected in a menu prompting all the drafts which title contains the current line.

When the draft is picked, its content is parsed and all the lines beginning with ‘- ’ will be processed as items in the menu to be prompted.

Variables:
- JOIN is used to separate the current line and the selected item in the menu (default is ‘: ’ ; use ‘\n’ to insert a line separation).
- FOLDERFILTER is used to filter the drafts query (default is ‘all’ ; or use ‘inbox’, ‘archive’ or ‘flagged’).
- TAGFILTER is used to filter the queried drafts with a tag or several tags (default is “, ie no tag filter).
