Things I have tried
I looked through some of the posts in Feature Requests, and what the Forums said was similar to my post, and the closest I could find was this request that didn’t seem to get much traction:
Use case or problem
The new aliases/tags frontmatter feature added in Obsidian Release v0.9.16 is great!
I think it would help to ‘surface’ this feature in a nice/time saving way if we had ‘auto completion’ for the supported keys here (at least for those with specific Obsidian connotations like aliases, tags, etc), and maybe even following on from that with suggested data to add to it (eg. aliases pops up a search field for notes that shows all ‘alternative labels’ that have been used to link t…
What I’m trying to do
I wonder if there’s a way to get IntelliSense/Auto-Completion for tags specified in the Front Matter similar to how a regular #
behaves.
For example, if I go to the top of a file and start with a #
, it suggests other tags that I’ve created that might match what I’m typing out.
However, if I try and add a tag in the Front Matter, there is no auto-complete.
Is there a plugin or something I can do to make this happen?

This is something I also feel the need for but I believe it is not possible yet.
Please also see this: Auto Suggest/Populate Tags YAML Front Matter

Yeah, that’s the most I’ve been able to find as well
I’m not sure where Feature Requests go, would you happen to have found the request that came from that post?

This is the first thing I look for when I learned about the Front Matter tags. Without auto-completion I don’t know how to tag…

Thank you for that. Hopefully we can get this added natively to Obsidian.
