What I’m Trying to Do
I’m working on a vault that has a lot of information about individuals so have created a person template containing such information as parents spouse, children etc. is there a way of adding, for example, several names into a single property such as a list of children. I tried this for example in a property called parents I added [[john doe]], [[jane doe]] but when I click on the link create a new note I get one for both names , rather than a single nane (a note called ‘John doe’ for example.
My vault is heavily based around the make.md plugin. I’m trying to save a lot of time and space in my templates ,at the moment I have to create a property for every child e.g. child 1, child 2 and soon. Likewise siblings, trust me the Victorian tended to have huge families. I know I could do this in the body of the note, but I’m trying to create a social network map using excalidraw.
Is there a simple solution without getting in code and so on. I’m not a cider.
Thanks for this Guapa. I know nothing about coding etc. so I’m hope I haven’t misunderstood, but I think you’re suggesting a yaml based solution. But I’m the make plugin and its properties. Doi was wondering if there was a way of adding multiple entries into those properties if this makes sense.
Apologies. I assumed that the Make plugin was producing YAML headers / properties, so it would just be a case of editing the properties to the right format. I have never used Make, but by the sound of things my assumption was wrong.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what to suggest, but I hope a Make user will see your post and help with an answer for you.
If you’re editing properties in live preview and not source mode as above, you need to change the property type from ‘text’ to ‘list’. As long as it is text, it treats everything entered as a single entry. Caveat, this is is a standard core feature and I have no idea how it works in relation to Make.md features, but I expect your child 1 and child 2 entries should be separate regardless.
