YAML Infinity value displays as "no value" in Properties view

Steps to reproduce

In any note, go into source mode and create a property with the value .inf (the representation of infinity in YAML according to the YAML reference card)

E.g:

---
field: .inf
---

Expected result

Properties view should show value as infinity, similar to how Metadata view did in previous version of Obsidian (and how the mobile app still works).

Actual result

Properties view correctly detects that the field has a numerical type, but displays the value as “No value”.

Clicking into and out of the “No value” box clears the property value.

ok, thanks!

I can’t replicate this issue. Is it still happening for anyone or has it been fixed?

Correction: this issue is still present, but it can be masked by switching the field to text and back.
