Many people running their knowledge systems in obsidian create note classes (People, Project, Article, Video, etc.) are forced to use the weak functionality of textual YAML. Use case or problem Uncomfortable to change yaml parameters No autocompletion, no type standartization No property consiste…

As I said in other threads, YAML block was not meant to be users directly by the users but a place managed by plugins. What you listed is not a workaround, it’s the solution. YAML frontmatter improvement refers to better handling/add UI support for the few attributes obsidian handles directly (ali…

Side note: it seems that you want something like this “database folder plugin” obsidian://show-plugin?id=dbfolder

Kind of, I like the idea behind this plugin. But ideas is to the ability of managing note types and assigning values to precreated properties with autosuggestion (metabind + metatable plugins).

I think with that plugin, and also manually with the other plugins you mentioned, you can create a “note type”. Have that note type be associated with a fixed number of note attributes. Have a set of values associated with a specific attribute. I am going to rename your FR as “First Party support…

I need the structure and typing that comes with notion, visualize the connections, create dynamic tables that I can edit, have different views on my data. I realize I have a data-centric workflow. The reason i’m still …

Thank you for commenting. I really like what an ecosystem growth around obsidian, but we still haven’t powerful handy tools for managing our note typings(metadata). Nice mentioned that all PKM tools left to plugins, but having built in functionality for managing metadata need to be included on base…

Exactly that’s the conclusion i draw in almost every discussion thread, as even those with top replies numbers don’t get any commitment as to “yes we may do it in the future” or “no this doesn’t fit the design we want to get to”, there is basically no clear indication as to where the tool with be he…

you do realize that Obsidian is version 0.15.6. Lots to do for the program to get to version 1.0. Also, at its bare basics, Obsidian is a plain text editor that uses Markdown, is extensible, and works on just about any Modern Operating System. Many users have adapted it to do Personal Knowledge M…

Version numbers don’t matter, as long as the roadmap doesn’t tell anything about what’s the featureset even targetted to be version 1.0. This could very well be the version 1.0, or far from it, there is no clue, the long-term roadmap is empty, so it could be just it, that’s my main concern. You cla…
