Choose Todoist Project and Section when sending a Task to Todoist

I would love to choose the specific Todoist Project and Section when sending a task from Capacity to Todoist. At the moment I have to add all project that I want to choose from in a cumbersome way via settings. I frequently create new projects in Todoist and this detour is inconvenient. Is this an API issue?
The integration with Todoist is so clean and incredibly useful but I don't like taking the extra step via the Todoist Inbox every time I create a task.

You can create several task actions, one for each project. This will allow you to choose which project to send to from within Capacities. However, if you make a lot of new projects, this will involve manually creating new task actions for each project.

Beth Yep that's the issue, using GTD methodology I create projects often like :
"Build my gf library"
"Improve my server security with fail2ban"
"Update my resume"
For each project is a project object type created in Capacities from which I create a corresponding project on Todoist.
Capacities holds the documentation part of the project, and this is also where I first jot next actions that I send using a task action. Hence the need for a project selection.
For now my idea is to create a n8n workflow and a unique task action that would send to n8n, check if the note that the task is from exists as a project in Todoist, create it if not, and add task to it.
But being able to select the project when sending could be easier for non-tech users and would not require to host a n8n and manipulate webhooks ✌

Agreed !

This would be super helpful. I love the fact that the Todoist integration includes the links back to Capacities, but having the above functionality would reduce the steps significantly.
