When selecting a property for a note (when I press three times -) I cannot select the property type, the menu does not work on both Android and Windows 11.
Are you trying to change the type of one of the default properties (tags, aliases, cssclasses)?
Yes, that’s right.
What you’re seeing is probably intentional. (Possibly the way it’s presented is unintentional, like if you see a menu option to change the property and the option isn’t grayed out.)
No, this menu is grayed out and not active.
Out of curiosity, why were you trying to change their types?
For example, I want to change the type to date for a daily note.
For aliases, I assume? They all have to be lists so they can hold multiple values. Also, changing the type affects the property for all notes.
(In case it’s not clear, you can make your own properties besides the 3 defaults.)
I would like to use these property types (which are not available)
If you want a property of type “date”: instead of selecting one of the 3 default properties, type a new property name. Then you can set the new property’s type to date.
