Please note: at the time of release, this Shortcut requires a beta build of Things 3.

This shortcut uses Things' upcoming Find Items action to JSONify all available data for every To-Do in one's account in Data Jar.

By default, the information will be stored in things.[id] as demonstrated in the live example below.
