path-based project mapping not working for tasks parsed from file metadata or tag-based

[ggiammat]

I'm experiencing an unexpected behavior with tasks parsed from file metadata or based on tags. When the path-based project mapping is enabled, tasks parsed from file metadata or tag-based will not get the automatic project assigned.

From an empty Vault with only Task Genius 9.1.5 running, I enabled parsing of task from file metadata and I also enabled a Path-based Project Mapping as can be seen below:

---

Then I created two files under the FOLDER_1 folder:

• My First Task.md has a the #task tag, so it is parsed as task by TG
• Second File.md is a normal file with a checkbox that is parsed as task by TG

---

Since both files are under FOLDER_1, I would expect that for both of them project_1 is assigned as project, but in reality My First Task has an empty project.

---

Briefly looking at the code, I see that for tasks parsed from file metadata and tag-based, the tgProject metadata is never populated. I do not know if this is wanted or if adding this would have other side effects that I'm not considering right now, but for my use case, I would like to have also tag-based tasks to get the automatic project populated.
