Where do you put the data? #558

Metadata Menu was recommended to me to solve the problem that when I enter properties in a note I risk forgetting something, although this plugin does not alert me if I have forgotten something, it could still be useful.

Suggestion 1: I create notes from a template where I have defined empty properties, so I can fill them in. Although I haven't figured out how to associate a group of properties (similar to a class or DB table), I would like to have a mandatory field highlighted until I have filled it in.

Actually, the problems I want to report are as follows. 1: Every time I open the vault sandbox, where I am testing, I have to deactivate and reactivate the plugin, otherwise I don't see the entries in the context menu, and sometimes they disappear during use for no apparent reason.

2: After defining a field, Click "Add field at section" and select "Add on top of the file". But the field is inserted at the bottom of the file, not at the top among the properties!

Hi

Suggestion 1

You could use a combination of templater and quickadd. You can see a demo by Danny Hatcher how to set it up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi4Uz7TZLOM

1: Every time I open the vault sandbox, where I am testing, I have to deactivate and reactivate the plugin, otherwise I don't see the entries in the context menu, and sometimes they disappear during use for no apparent reason.

Could you open a separate issue for that and paste any error that you would see in the console when it occurs

2: After defining a field, Click "Add field at section" and select "Add on top of the file". But the field is inserted at the bottom of the file, not at the top among the properties!

Will be fixed in the next version
