Import errors referencing 'undefined' metadata missing

I love this plugin. Adding items one at a time works beautifully. Thank you.

Problem: I have hundreds of items already in Obsidian that I want to import into MediaDB. When I run the import against my Books folder, every item generates this error: "metadata field 'undefined' not found or empty"

• There is no metadata named "undefined"
• I have a title set for each of the books.

I suspect that you forgot to specify which metadata field you want to use for the search: This image shows the field to be empty but proposes to use title

In this image I wrote title as the metadata field to be used

If it still doesn't work could you share a copy of the yaml for one of your book notes?

Edit: Don't forget to make a backup of your original files before doing an import, just in case

Thank you! That was it.

The word "title" is in the box, but it appears lighter. I assumed I didn't need to enter a value. Now I see it was a suggested value. It was confusing me.
