Adding from capture (append) to a current markdown list

Hi all

so I have a shopping list that looks like this

# shopping

- [ ]  Milk 
- [x]  Flour 
- [ ]  Puff pastry 
- [ ]  Sesame seeds
- [x]  Beef stew 
- [ ]  Cider
- [ ]  Pasta 

now how does one add via the capture append function a url/text that will auto append this as the next list item? Currently it adds it like this

any clue how to get it to add it as a list item? Also relevant to iOS capture, if anyone knows how do achieve this there as well

thx

You need to manually prefix it with the list identifier - [ ] in the quick capture window as that window doesn’t know you are making a list when it passes it on to the draft you want it to append to. When you do add the prefix, if you have the format as Markdown for example, you’ll even see the syntax formatting come into effect. If you are adding multiple items, you’ll see subsequent ones get the prefix automatically just like in a regular draft.

Once you have your additions set-up as a list, or even before you do that I guess, you can select the + option for your shopping list draft. Then select the append button to append one list to the other.

Note: You have a double space between your checkmark box and the list item, so you might want to put two spaces after the checkmark box in the quick capture, rather than the one space I used above.

Hope that helps.
