When typing a dataview field in the file properties, there are autocomplete suggestions. There are none for inline fields, but there should be.
Can you show an example of what you are talking about? Dataview is a community plugin.
Are you actually referring to a Dataview feature, or just inline properties in general? (Pardon if I’m missing something.)
Yeah, I’m talking about dataview
E.g. suppose I have a field daily_pages_read_count
If I start typing it in the frontmatter, after I type daily_ I will have a suggestion which will allow me not to type the whole name.
If on the other hand I type daily_ as an inline field - I don’t get any suggestions.
This makes sense as obsidian has no way of recognizing that I am in fact typing an inline field. However I think there should be an option to actually make this work, e.g. a hotkey or if I type :: then it should start the autocomplete suggestions.
If you are talking about Dataview, feature requests for community plugins belong in their corresponding Github pages.
But it really sounds like you are talking about properties, which is an Obsidian feature, not Dataview. Dataview can read properties.
Oh, I see. Yes, then I’m talking about inline properties, e.g.
key::value
or [key::value]
