Reopening: Need Help Deleting Properties from Auto-populated Dropdown

Help
1

I have the same exact issue outlined here, and the solution outlined here does not solve it, maybe it broke again?

I’m running the 1.9.1 beta.

This is a quality of life bug but really annoying in bases because it clutters the list of property fields with unused items when I search.

Subject: Need Help Deleting Properties from Auto-populated Dropdown

Hi Obsidian Community! :wave:

I’m running into an issue with the auto-populated dropdown for properties in Obsidian, and I was wondering if anyone here has a solution.

The Problem :thinking:

When I’m adding new properties, Obsidian suggests a dropdown list that seems to be auto-populated based on previous entries. I can see these properties when I click on “View All Properties,” but I can’t figure out how to remove them permanently from the list.

What I’ve Tried :wrench:

I tried to resolve this by opening the types.json file in VS Code. I can see the properties that I’ve created in this file, and when I add new ones, they do show up here. However, there are other properties that appear in the “View All Properties” list that are not in this types.json file.

Specific Issue :dart:

In particular, I’m trying to delete the property link that I created a while ago. I want to use link(s) instead. When I type “lin” and press “Enter,” it defaults to link, not link(s), which is not what I want.

Questions :question:

  1. How can I permanently delete a property from the auto-populated dropdown list?
  2. Is there a specific file other than types.json where these properties are stored?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance! :pray:
