Create YAML frontmatter with an embedded image like this:
---
cover: "![[Pasted image 20220314153210.png|200]]"
---
I would expect that the image is parsed in the reading view

The latest Minimal theme version is 7.1.1, maybe updating helps, as this is theme that might provide cover for notes not vanilla Obsidian I think

I’ve tested this in the sandbox vault, so the theme is not of any influence here.
Before I used inline fields like:
cover:: ![[Pasted image 20220314153210.png|200]]
That still works, but now that we have version 1.4 I’d like to migrate my inline fields to YAML frontmatter.

wikilinks and images aren’t parsed in yaml (wikilinks might be clicable now but as far I know you don’t get an embedded preview of them), and the cover/banner image functionality was provided by custom css or plugins/themes not by vanilla Obsidian, for example here
Huh, odd! I use the Minimal theme primarily, but it works in every theme I’ve tried (including the default one). I also tried the Sandbox vault and it works there. Maybe I changed something else that I’m forgetting. Here’s the full file that I’m using:
:root {
--banner-image-height: 120px;
}
.banner-image > .markdown-preview-section {
margin-top: var(--banner-image-height) !important;
}
.banner-image.markdown-preview-view [data-callout="banner-image"],
.banner-image.markdown-preview-…
(but I might missed something)
On my Obsidian
cover:: ![[example_image.png|200]]
just display image, the same way as
![[example_image.png|200]]
I would say what you requesting is a new feature, not a bug, but devs or others might comment on it (there is no property type “image” that will be be rendered as I read in the release notes)
This is not a bug. We do not support embedding wilkins in the properties/YAML.
That syntax is something specific made up by banner plugin.
