Tags are not recognized

I have

tags : [Meeting, SomeThingElse]

in my frontmatter, but the tags are not recognized.
I have around 10 notes with #Meeting in the frontmatter tag, but only one note shows up.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Do you mean Meeting? Because #Meeting wouldn’t work if it’s in frontmatter.

Meeting… why can’t you edit your older posts… sigh

Well, can be many things… some not related with the tags.

The syntax is right? Yes.
You can also use this one:

---
tags:
  - Meeting
  - SomeThingElse
---

Not recognized by who?
Only one note shows where? In tag pane?

Another point: sometimes yaml frontmatter doesn’t work (any field) because it has an invalid character/syntax in any field and is considered “invalid yaml” (to all fields).

found the bug. It is an invalid syntax, but I don’t get the Metadata (Invalid YAML) because of Metatable just failing silently. If I disable that plugin I get the error message.

Thanks for pointing me into the right direction
