[Feature request] tag suggest input type

[danielo515]

An input type that allows to pick one or more tags. Maybe with an option to filter out tags?

[zeltak]

would also LOVE that option, would make this perfect for me..pretty please with sugar on top? :) :)

[danielo515]

@zeltak in this initial version, there is no configuration, because I didn't saw the need. Maybe a way to exclude tags would be required, or an option to remove the # prefix on them. Please let me know your thoughts.

[zeltak]

This is SOOOO EPIC :) thank you so much for this , honestly this is the best plugin since ive started using obsidian a few years ago!!

one thing though is that I see it currently does not put the input into the YAML header but rather capture below the title, am I missing something or is YAML not supported yet? since obsidian moved fully to YAML properties I moved my thousand of files to use that

here is an example of the current way the plugin saves

# inbox
- [ ] tag:: "#china","#asia"

VS the way I (and obsidian save in YAML)

---
tags:
  - china
  - asia
status: 
---
# inbox

am I missing something?

thx so much for your epic work @danielo515 !

Can you share with me the template you are using so I can look into it better?

Hey @zeltak , thank you for your kind words. I was asking for the template where you make use of modal-form to create the output note. The way you report the plugin is saving is only if you tell it to render it like dataview. If you select to render the result as frontmatter, here is an example of what I'm getting:

toggle: false
multi_books: []
select: first
multi_2: []
multi_select_dataview: []
select-fail: ""
tags:
  - "#book"
  - "#person"
  - "#person/Química"

Or you are referring to the # prefix? If so, that is what I was asking you in my first message, about how good or bad it looks

[danielo515]

In any case, I think the leading # does not look right, so I just removed it in the latest version. Let me know if it is what you expected

[zeltak]

Ahh @danielo515 I see, thx for clarifying.

I agree the # is not needed and glad you removed it :)

I managed to change in the quick add template the JS to asFrontmatterString() (took me a while to figure that part :)) and it now saves in YAML!!

but I think its not in proper obsidian YAML header format :)

here is my current example modal template

{
  "title": "mtest",
  "name": "mtest",
  "customClassname": "mtest",
  "fields": [
    {
      "name": "tag",
      "label": "tag",
      "description": "tags",
      "input": {
        "type": "tag"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "status",
      "label": "status",
      "description": "status",
      "input": {
        "type": "number"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "ratings",
      "label": "ratings",
      "description": "ratings",
      "input": {
        "type": "number"
      }
    }
  ],
  "version": "1"
}

and this is the resulting header thats generated

- [ ] tag:
  - task
  - asia
  - food
status: "3"
ratings: "4"

# Untitled

while one would expect the header to look like this

---
tags:
  - CQ
  - asia
  - noodle
  - chicken-thigh
status: 5
rating: 4
---

does that make any sense? (im basing my syntax on This https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Properties)

also small usability improvement (if you dont mind: )) is that after selecting the first tag it automatically looses focus from the tag section input area, so that when adding multiple tags you need to manually refocus that area. can this area continue being focused until you move to the next form section?

a huge thx again!

You define it in the templater template that's why I was asking for it 😄

Let me know if following this example makes ting works as you expect: https://github.com/danielo515/obsidian-modal-form/blob/master/examples/basic%20template%20example.md?plain=1

As you can see, it adds the result of the form to the frontmatter. Is that similar to what you are doing?

About your other requirement, there is already a feature request for it: #138

[zeltak]

awesome works like a charm with templatar!!
