Hello everyone,
Does anyone know how to have lists that are embedded STAY folded up ?
It’s not an issue that I need to fold indented bullet points up manually, but once I open & close a note that contains an embedded list, or modify the original list in any way, all the bullet points just unfold - Fold states of lists don’t seem to be saved if they are embedded.
I’d greatly appreciate any help or insights you might provide.
Obsidian remembers the fold states of lists in notes. However, your images suggest a different situation: there, you show notes embedded in a different note. When opening a note then parsing embedded content, the fold state of the original note is remembered, not the fold state in the current note.
Thus, go to the original note, fold your items there. When opening the note that embeds that original note, the items will be folded, and remain so on subsequent openings unless you change the state in the original note.
I did think of that but this is not what happens. If you have several embedded lists, only a SINGLE one remembers the original fold state. Usually the last list you have embedded.
So if my original note has four lists with folded indents, the sibling note will systematically have three of those lists unfolded.
Is there a way to influence this particular behavior ? To maybe have the fold state being “folded” by default ?
Yes, the behavior seems more complicated. A long as the source note has not changed, the embedded list keeps its last state. However, when the fold state of an item is changed in the source note, that new state will also be in effect in the note where it is embedded. However, I cannot reproduced that all bullets then unfold.
