Right now, this is intentional. The properties core plugin manages the sidebar tabs not the properties in the editor. You can open a feature request about this.

Also, it would be helpful to have feedback on what is stopping you from using the new ui.

@renatomen Would this setting do the trick for you? Settings -> Editor -> Show file properties

In my case, it keeps converting the deprecated cssclass: to cssclasses: which breaks the Tufte-sidenotes CSS from the Cornell Notes system.

Could you set it up so toggling Properties off would actually stop it from fooling with the YAML?

The solution seems to have been posted in a different thread yesterday Turn off new YAML 1.4? - #24 by mycoJuan

Settings> “Editor” tab> “Display” heading > “Properties in document” > “Source” option.
