Auto-tagging?

drummergirl says:
Can RTM automatically add a tag based on text within the task title? I use RTM primarily from gmail and my iphone. I like to put all data in the subject line like this:

Call: Joe Cool/HOPM

"Call:" is my action keyword that gets filtered to a smartlist named "calls"

and 'HOPM' is my shorthand for the project name.

I'd like to also get that project name filtered into a list - preferably tags, tho - because projects come and go and I don't want to have to setup a smartlist for individual projects. I'm looking or a more "on-the-fly" solution. I know I can run a search on the project keyword, but I'd like to be able to click on a tag name from my iphone.

Is this doable?

Not currently, sorry!

Depending on which interface to RTM you're using, there's some support for including the tag name -- for example, in the RTM for Gmail extension, you can add a task like:

"Finish report, tag with work"

and it will automatically tag with that. Unfortunately it's not supported in all RTM interfaces just yet, but we do want to make input as easy and fast as possible. :)

Hope this helps.
