What I’m trying to do
I want to prevent the creation of folders with the same sequence of letters and separators, “”,", used to define tags in Web Clipper.
Context
Things I have tried
From my research, I haven’t found any apparent configuration errors. I don’t know how to fix the problem.
I’m a beginner with Obsidian. I have no experience with basic Obsidian, templates, etc.
Update
When I wrote the post, when I opened Web Clipper, the tag property was set to a default tag, one I didn’t set, which I kept.
Now I’ve noticed that the tags field occasionally auto-populates with the most recently used tags, but with a different syntax. If I previously wrote the tag name separated by ", ", the pre-populated tags are preceded by the “#” symbol and don’t have ", " separators, but spaces.
From an initial test, I found that writing them in this format didn’t generate the folders as described above.
However, in the subsequent test, everything returned to “normal,” with only the default tag. Remembering my previous experience, I rewrote the tags with the “#,” but the mocking system created the folders.
