exclude_modified_update is not working #6

Closed ricir closed 1 year ago

ricir commented 1 year ago

I added the field a gave it the value true (actually a checkbox) but the field specified in the options (modifiedDateTime) is still updating. My fields:

exclude_modified_update: true
modifiedDateTime: 2023-09-14 16:26

I also tried to close Obsidian and reopen but this still happens.

Can you double-check you have v1.2.4 of the plugin?

I just tried this in the sandbox vault and it works as expected. I even copied and pasted the property name from your post just to make sure.

Here's a test vault showing it working - maybe you can test this on your machine and see if it still works correctly?

Modified test vault.zip

I think I should investigate my installation of Obsidian. There is something very strange. I completely uninstalled the plugin and it kept updating.

It seems like I have two Obsidians running in parallel, but I don't know why and how to detect the situation.

There are also some issues with conflicting copies created every time the field is updated (I am using Maestral with Dropbox).

I can give you more info tomorrow (now is about 9 PM CEST in Italy) if you want.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, your vault is working correctly also with my installation of Obsidian. Therefore I think I need to investigate my vault (for instance possible conflicting plugins).

Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin? I think that has a high chance of success.

If not, we can move onto other troubleshooting steps.

I did not reinstall, however now it is working on my vault too and conflicting copies stopped creating so far (maybe there was some problem on the Dropbox / Maestral side). I think you can close this issue an I could open a new one if I find any other strange situation.
