Change the type of card

[calmarHQ]

I spend 2 hours searching for a way to declare the type of the card - in my case I have Basic & Programming Cards (allow you to type out the answer). Unfortunately I didnt find any solution for this.

I ended up switching to Obsidian_To_Anki where this is possible (just by typing out the cardname like "Basic" or "Programming Card").

Thank you for taking the time to report the issue and help me to make the project better! 🙂

Hey @calmarshortcuts. There is no way, but the plugin aims to be minimal. If a feature is not required by many people, then as a matter of practicality, I don't implement it. That would just complicate the code and result in a project that would take too much time and then be abandoned.

Anyway, what is your workflow? Do you use different types of cards for each file? And what changes between the different types?

I would have the same need. Case: I do have different fields of study in Anki. For languages I have different cards that read the text to me. But I have to set the language in the card. In some cases I do have more than one card type per note / file. But I believe that I could make it work with one card per file.

I really appreciate the plugin being minimal and easy to use. However, I'd also like this feature of changing the type of card as well. I study Japanese. Grammar and vocabulary cards have different types with different fields and stylings that suit me. So it'd be great if I can use the card types I've created with this plugin as well. One card per file works. Thank you.
