Natural language for entering task due dates, priority, tags and project
complete
Pascal Zweipfenning
One of the great features of Todoist is the possibility of entering tasks using natural language including labels, due dates and the project. All can be added without a single click. This and the mobile app is one of the reasons I switched back to Todoist (hopefully for a short period).

I don't think this is complete, it just gives a quick short cut, todoist does a lot that we can do everything on a single line, that is the only reason i can't switch out of it to anything else :(

I don't understand how the clickup team can consider these requests to add natural language task creation as "complete!" The "slash entry" method is a step up from having to click on each entry item, but it is still very time-consuming and confusing.
This is one of the 4 areas where ToDoIst WAY outperforms clickup, and for that reason I am keeping my subscription to Todoist active while I try converting to clickup.
(fwiw, the other 3 places where Todoist way outperforms clickup are (2) Views (completely customizable, multi-level sorting/filtering, etc); (3) Simplicity & space-efficiency of how task lists & details are displayed (clickup is so freaking complicated, with checklists & subtasks & comments & descriptions.... at least let the user choose what s/he wants to see!); and (4) ease & usability of tags.

Todoist is the best example how it should work.. write: "buy bread 12.4 14:00" and it will create the task with time and reminder. Add something like "every day/month/year" and you set a recurring task.
The idea with the command trigger "/" is not bad but it's not the same as people expect from a native language parser.

Frank Arnold: yes, Todoist is the master of this game :)

Slash command is not exactly a "natural language" even if it can definitely speed up the process of creating task :)
However, do you plan, for example, to support something like :
"Read an article starting in 2 days every 3 days for 1 months p2 !my_list #label1"
Which would create a task :
"Read an article" with due date in 2 days, that repeat every 3 days until 1 month with a priority normal, with label "label1" and set in the list "my_list" ?

is it possible to say "in x work days" or "weekdays"?
