Set default priority for automatically created TODO-items, or disable them entirely

TODO Priority Quick-Content-Creation Stubs

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  Currently, whenever I create a new article using the Quick Content creation, it creates a new TODO with High priority. However, my most common use for the Quick Content creation is to have a link towards a stub that I might turn into an article later, just so I don't have to go back and add links afterward. Stubs created like this are usually low or trivial on my priority list, which makes anything but critical TODOs basically unusable for me.

How does this feature request address the current situation?

By making it possible to set a default priority for automatically created TODO-items, or disabling them entirely, I could use the TODO list to actually keep track of what I want to do, create stubs in the process, and not clutter my TODO-list again.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

One could also set the priority to a certain default, create a bunch of stubs, and then change the default priority again, with the effect of having a bunch of TODOs that are in a controlled, new priority.

The Team's Response

That is an interesting idea - will definitely implement on the next round of upgrades for the TODO list

    I would use this. I especially like the use described in the last paragraph.

    I would so welcome the ability to turn off the to-do list automatically creating random stuff.

    maybe add a dropdown on the quick article creation to set the priority for that one article directly? This way you could make some articles higher priority because you will make it into a longer article, while others where you are unsure, are low priority and so on.

    I absolutely love the idea of this, as instead of having everything being high priority, I can plan it out for "worklist" days.
