I’m working on a version that supports adding elements to list items in the frontmatter.
Until then, it’s currently not supported. QuickAdd has a feature that allows you to do this, though. You use the Insert After feature in a capture.

I am getting a console error that was able to trace back to this plugin. Just wanted to report it here before filing on GitHub.

Thank you!

Can anyone suggest a way to add the current title of a note as an alias, so that when I change the title, I still have a way of referring to (and autocompleting on) the title before the change? I was hoping that {{title}} would work, but I can’t see how.

#65

Are you doing some kind of scripting or templating to make this work? Has the note been created? Is this regarding many notes, or just one or two? Or, do you want some automatic workflow for it?

#66

Legitimate questions! Definitely this is far already existing files. I’m not looking to automate this. It would mostly be one or two at a time. But even so, it would be great to just be able to have a hot key to run this. At the same time, as long as I’m getting error if there is already an existing file, it might be simpler just to use Templater with a hot key that inserts {{title}}.

This can be done in a few lines of code:

const currentFile = app.workspace.getActiveFile()
if (!currentFile) {
  return new Notice("No active file");
}
await app.plugins.plugins.metaedit.api.createYamlProperty("alias", currentFile.basename, currentFile)

You can use Templater or QuickAdd to activate the code - depending on your preferences :slight_smile:

Thanks, but I’m clearly in over my head, since I don’ t understand what “activate the code” refers to. :person_shrugging:
