What I’m trying to do
First, I want to say that I’m coming back to Obsidian after a two-year hiatus from it. The reason for the hiatus is a massively over-complicated vault (my main one) which I’m eventually going to have to repair. A topic for another day, but relevant to this is : I’m just re-coming up to speed on the ‘new’ Obsidian.
Second, the problem. Because the un-complicated vault that I used for novel-related notes has a tags/properties problem I can’t solve.
There’s a YAML front-matter block with a standard tags property. It won’t accept the tag a-complicated-man — it marks it as bad or malformed. (The stars are hopefully markdown, not part of the tag.)
But within the doc, a tag property accepts #a-complicated-man just fine.
What’s going on and how do I fix it? I want to use the tag in the YAML block.
Update: The ‘tag’ property in the YAML header isn’t accepting anything. Nor can its type be edited to ‘Automatic’.
Things I have tried
I searched “tags” and “tag” and YAML. I even went to the YAML site (yaml.info) for assistance, to no avail. Thanks for the help!
