BTW: My goal is to export each reminder as full JSON package using get contents of url Post request (which I do have already working). I just can’t seem to get all the fields I’d like in vars to add to the JSON.
Also if there is some way to take a screenshot of the whole script - I can add that to the thread if that would help…
Screenshots for something like this are not the way to go. The best thing to do is to share your shortcut. Without seeing all of the settings you have set and what magic variable utilisation you have, even a screenshot leaves you rebuilding someone else’s entire shortcut and debugging without knowing the right level of detail. That’s usually why people who don’t post links to complex shortcuts don’t get as much help, because there’s just too much wasted time for all involved on guesswork.
To share a shortcut:
Open your shortcut.
If you have any data in it you are not happy sharing publicly, make a duplicate and replace the data with some dummy data.
Make sure you are now in the shortcut you are happy to share.
Select the share button to display the share sheet.
Select Copy iCloud link.
Paste the copied link into a post on the forum.
When people select the link, they will be able to download your shared shortcut to their device and investigate what is going on.
My gut feeling is that since you are splitting reminders by new lines suggests that you are splitting a text-based conversion of reminders. That isn’t actually a reminder.
To try and help make send of this, here’s an analogous way of thinking about it. Think of the reminder as a cube. When you grab the text of the reminder, you take a snapshot of the face of the cube that’s all about text. Later you want to access all the other data that wasn’t on the face of the cube containing the text, but actually that’s all you have. You could take a look at every face at the start, but better yet is to take the cube rather than just a snapshot of one face.
Your find should be returning reminders, so the result of that is probably what you want to work with, not some implicit text conversion through splitting a list of reminders.
update -> - it seems that a subscription to toolbox pro can do this reminder editing - so I might just check that out.
While I am at it, there is one more thing I would like to do.
After each reminder is successfully sent to the web URL, I would like to update each reminder and move it to another archive list called “Old Archive”.
This will prevent this reminder from ever being sent more than once to the destination database. (I will not use this “Old Archive” list to ever send to the database)
Q: While in the repeat loop, is there a way to move the reminder items from the list it is in to the “Old Archive” list?
