Create a project support note in Evernote. The note will be cross-referenced with the task/project in OmniFocus.

	Opens the support note for an OmniFocus task/project in Evernote. Creates the note if necessary, linking the note back to the task/project.
	
	NB: If you set this up by hand, the evernote:/// URL in OmniFocus needs to be enclosed in <> for the script to find it.
	
	Put this script in ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.omnigroup.omnifocus2. Then you can add the script as a custom toolbar item.

Hi @csreed. Thank you for building this.

I am not able to make it work. I think this is related to the statement

" NB: If you set this up by hand, the evernote:/// URL in OmniFocus needs to be enclosed in <> for the script to find it."

I can install and make it run in OF2. But I get:

• A note in Eveernote with the name of the task
• Note in Evernote does not have a link back to the task in OF2
• The Task in OF2 shows "Evernote "

I have created a notebook on evernote called "Planner"

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

This is a beautiful script. Elegant solution to the problem and well-written to boot. Links work perfectly on IOS and MacOS

Thank you so much for sharing!

I've been using this script for years - and would miss it terribly if I couldn't use it. And now, on my new Mac, I suddenly get this error message:

The operation couldn’t be completed. /Users/fdx247/Library/Application Scripts/com.omnigroup.OmniFocus3/Support Note.scpt:1874:1886: script error: Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier. (-2741)

Referring to this line: set the_notebook to notebook notebookName
I've changed the first line to match my default notebook: property notebookName : "@inbox"

But when compiling it in the script editor i get the same error.

Found the answer: Evernote V10 does not support AppleScript... go figure...
