+1 for this. Would love native support without needing hacky workarounds
+1 for this feature!
+1 for showing tags in published pages.
Yes, this was bit disappointment for me. This is such a “must-be” that without it, publishing is much less useful. I currently need to duplicate all the properties in a table - productivity nonsense.
Without this feature it does not make publishing subscription worth keeping I am afraid.
Use case or problem
Frontmatter / Properties is a key mechanism for navigating my vault. The inability to “Obsidian Publish” the Properties of a Note impedes navigation of the published vault contents.
Before the release of Properties in Obsidian, I had baked this into my Templates
Primary Categories: [[01 - Recipes]]
Secondary Categories: { Add link(s) back to related SECONDARY categories }
Tags and Links: #recipe { Add additional relevant tags and links }
Which rendered consistently between both the App and the Published result:
I later adopted the (preferable) Properties functionality. Notes now look likes this in the app:
Yet lose all functional navigation once Published:
Proposed solution
A mechanism to Publish n > 0 Properties
- (Nice to Have) a function to exclude certain properties (e.g. tags) from publication
Current workaround
My only known-functional work arounds are to abandon the use of Frontmatter / Properties OR abandon Obsidian Publish in favor of a custom Hugo (or similar) workflow. Neither workarounds are desirable.

@Cacapon Shared a similar desire in Help - I want to enable links written in properties in Obdisian Publish
thank you very much!
I assume I add the CSS Snippet in the publish.css
Where do I add the .js file?
+1 for a native solution. I finally got the first code example for showing the created date to work with some modifications (has to be exact to my property name and not have other properties listed that I don’t have – my notes don’t have “updated” property).
Also even with the code working, I seem to have to refresh each page individually for the date to show.

Is it possible to check if the team is even considering something like this?

I saw on Discord that Dynamic Views (which will use properties) will support Publish, which should mean some way to show said properties will also be included.
