What I’m trying to do
I’m looking for a way to set up a toolbar or a group of buttons in Obsidian that allows me to change the “status” property (in YAML) of the current note by clicking a button. Different types of notes would have distinct groups of statuses to select from.
For a bad example: If a note has the YAML property noteType: colour, you could choose a status of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
For a worse example: If a note has the YAML property noteType: vegetable, you could choose a status like root vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, greens, or nightshades.
Ideally, this functionality would be accessible outside the standard properties pane. And ideally, you would be able to perhaps click on the button toggle between choices.
I explored the Note Toolbar plugin but couldn’t find an easy solution to replicate. I’m currently looking into Meta Bind, but it appears complicated to maintain as my note types evolve.
As I build my vault I’m doing a lot of clicking and changing of property values. It would be great to eliminate typos, by just having a button or a simple UI.
Things I have tried
I’ve begun to explore Meta Bind and then I stumble across Note Toolbar which seems as though it would be easier to maintain, but I am unclear on where to start.
