Does inline YAML work?

[bangbangbanghit]

I’ve tried adding properties in the actual document not just in the frontmatter, such as isParentof:: [[note.md]]

I expected [[note.md]] to appear in the frontmatter of the same file and in the property fields in Bases. Is inline YAML a thing?

something along these lines:

Inline Properties missing in Properties View

What I’m trying to do Didn’t find a sultion yet: I use YAML a lot for holding my documents meta data. It is good to find them all in the properties-view. But as soon as I add properties as inline properties via (myProp:: value), those additional properties are not shown in the Properties-View. Did I miss some settings here?

Automatically change YAML frontmatter property tags based on backlinks within current file

Is there a way to automatically update yaml frontmatter property tags based on if the current page has backlinks or not? What I’m trying to do Basically, I want the following logic to be applied automatically in my template (FYI: the name of my property is notetype): if backlinks = 0, notetype == “boat” Could this be done with a script or by using templater/dataview in the YAML frontmatter itself?

I was going to reply, but holroy summed it up here (in the first topic you linked):

Inline Properties missing in Properties View

The properties view only displays properties from the frontmatter. The inline fields are an extension provided by the dataview plugin, and they’re not displayed in any of the Properties views as far as I know.

The same is true for Bases. They only read the YAML/Properties and cached metadata about files and not the content of files.

I see. Maybe a plugin would make this work. Thank you!
