Kanban Auto ID

An Obsidian plugin that automatically assigns sequential IDs when adding new cards to Kanban boards.

How it works

When you click "Add a card" on a configured lane, the card title is pre-filled with the next sequential ID based on existing cards in the board.

For example, if your board has cards #1, #15, and #42, the next card will start with #43.
