Markdown export of a Task object leaves out the Context field
Hello team, I’ve been exporting some of my objects as Markdown and noticed something about Task objects. I have a Task with Status, Date, Deadline, Priority and Context all filled in, but the exported front matter only includes the first four. The Context field doesn’t appear anywhere in the file. Here’s the exported output as I got it:
type: 'Task' title: Tezi makaleye çevir. tags: [] status: Done date: '2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z' deadline: '2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z' priority: High completed: '2026-10-22T13:10:43.617Z'
I’m not sure whether this is a bug or simply how Markdown export works for Tasks right now. If it’s unintended, it would be great to have the Context field included in the front matter, so the exported file reflects everything on the object. Since Context is how I connect a Task to the rest of my knowledge base, losing it on export means the file doesn’t tell the full story when I move it to other tools or archive it. Thanks a lot for taking a look, and for building something I rely on every day!

·5 days agoThe export docs list Markdown as an option but don’t specify how a Task’s Context is exported, so I can’t confirm whether this is intended: https://docs.capacities.io/reference/export. Could you add an example of the Context value or format you expect in the front matter?

Will ask the developers what the expected behaviour is.
@Halil Yamaç Confirmed that this is expected so will keep this open as a request.
Thanks, Beth, I appreciate it. I’ll wait for a solution the team can offer.
