- Add or update Yaml properties and Dataview fields easily
- Ignore properties to hide them from the menu
- Auto Properties that have customizable, pre-defined values selectable through a suggester
- Multi-Value Mode that allows you to detect and vectorize/create arrays from your values
- Progress Properties that automatically update properties/fields
- Works with total task, completed task, and incomplete task counts. Mark a task as completed (from anywhere), and the file will be updated with the new count.
- Transform properties between YAML and Dataview
- Delete properties easily
- Auto update properties in files linked to from Kanban boards on lane change
- Edit metadata through a filemenu
- Edit last value in tags - works with Obsidian Tracker, too.
- API to use in other plugins and Templater templates.
This plugin has not yet been added to the community plugin browser in Obsidian.
- Go to Releases and download the ZIP file from the latest release.
- This ZIP file should be extracted in your Obsidian plugins folder. If you don't know where that is, you can go to
Community Plugins
inside Obsidian. There is a folder icon on the right ofInstalled Plugins
. Click that and it opens your plugins folder. - Extract the contents of the ZIP file there.
You can access the API by using app.plugins.plugins["MetaEdit"].api
.
I recommend destructuring the API, like so:
const {autoprop} = this.app.plugins.plugins["MetaEdit"].api;
Takes a string containing a property name. Looks for the property in user settings and will open a suggester with possible values for that property.
Returns the selected value. If no value was selected, or if the property was not found in settings, it returns null
.
This is an asynchronous function, so you should await
it.
New Task template (requires Templater)
<%*
const {autoprop} = this.app.plugins.plugins["MetaEdit"].api;
tR = `#tasks
Complete:: 0
Project::
Status:: ${await autoprop("Status")}
Priority:: ${await autoprop("Priority")}
Due Date::
Complete:: 0
Energy::
Estimated Time::
Total:: 1
Complete:: 0
Incomplete:: 1
