pasting a bullet with a note
is there a way to paste bullets with notes? for example:
- Parent
-> something that describes this bullet named "Parent"
Is there a special syntax or format that allows pasting of the above to translate into a bullet with a note in workflowy? I can't seem to figure it out. If I copy and paste a bullet with a note into a simple text editor or shell it shows up on two separate lines, so copying and pasting it back into workflowy just turns into two separate bullets at the same level with no notes.
Similarly is there a way to paste content so that it turns into a multi-column board?
thanks in advance

Hi @a x,
You may want to take a look at this extension to see the format of the OPML pasted into WorkFlowy:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clip-to-workflowy/cfifjihfoegnccifkcdomdookdckhaah?hl=en
It formats things so that the page title goes into the bullet and the page link goes into the note. This is the OPML:
<opml><body><outline text="Clip To WorkFlowy - Chrome Web Store" _note="<a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clip-to-workflowy/cfifjihfoegnccifkcdomdookdckhaah?hl=en">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clip-to-workflowy/cfifjihfoegnccifkcdomdookdckhaah?hl=en</a> " /></body></opml>
So I think you may need to know about OPML before throwing a JS bookmarklet together...
For multi-column boards, you'll always need to toggle in WorkFlowy itself. Play around with what a list looks like before you toggle to a board and you'll have your answer (before flipping the switch).

I just tried to copy and paste from a shared WorkFlowy list (FOREVER CALENDAR - LOWER CASE (BOLD DATES) - WorkFlowy), which has bullets with notes, and the pasted list in my WorkFlowy turns the notes into additional bullets. I've tried the copy and paste directly, and using the Export function to copy and paste the list and the OPML, and none of them worked as expected...
