It was renamed to "properties in document", set it to source and it should work.

I am learning more than expected. Each video lets me do one step further in Obsidian. Great!

I agree. Your videos are straightforward and easy to follow. Thanks for helpful content.

Congrats on 2000 subs! You make really great content, keep it up! May I ask what setup you use as a teleprompter?

Your videos are great stepping-off points before reading the docs. Thanks.

Okay, what happened to the Show Frontmatter option?

When I typed --- at the very top of the document, it popped up a Properties panel that I could use. When I typed it elsewhere, it treated "tags: Evergreen_notes" as a header 1 instead of as YAML.

Thank you so much! Your videos helps a lot. I saw a different method with double colon :: to give values to parameters what can be used in dataview. The advantage is that don't need to be at the top of the note as I saw in the video at Nicole.

It changed some versions ago. You can get the same view if you change the "Properties in document" to "Source". But you can also add metadata to a note now if you click on the three dots up to the right and choose "Add file property".

There is no "show frontmatter" option in my settings/Editor. It looks like this is done in my version by checking "source mode" in the ... menu of a document when in edit mode.

I really like how you teach the material. You make it so accessible and easy to follow. Great job ! subscribing now.

BTW, YAML probably means "Yet Another Markup Language" following in the steps of YACC, Yet Another Compiler Compiler, created in the 1970's.

@Fredricon

Apparently it has been moved. You now have to set "Properties in document" to "Source" if you want to see the YAML code. This setting is in the same section that "Show Fontmatter" was. Also know that you can't have any lines after the title before you write the YAML. The YAML has to come right after the title. Hope this helps.

Thanks it helped me install it

I am using the format key:: value to add data to my notes. Is that different to YAML? Dataview seems to display that information just as well?

I have a Problem to solve, but I need to know if its even possible. I have a list of tickers and dates, its quite long. I need to have the time stamp for the high and the low of the day in csv. By knowing which which came first I can effectively test and adjust a trading system. Basically if you could enter a list of tickers and dates and retrieve high and low timestamps you could do an absolute back test on a method. Please let me know what you or anyone here things , thanks in advance.

when adding a new book note it is duplicating the book in the reading list. I f I change the staus say from "to Read" to reading, it moves the title to the appropriate list but leaves the duplicate in the original list. Thoughts?

What are tags and aliases and why are they important?

I am confused about the yaml format for tags you are suggesting. You did it right with the square brackets and the comma. But when you changed by adding new lines, you aren't using any commonly known syntax. You should prefix each line with "-" to indicate it's an item of a list. I am not sure if it's a strange list-style or it is actually interpreting it as a dictionary with your tags as keys and null for values.

Much effect is undistinguished. 📙 A repeated event

One First like Programming is Hard But now we all obsess with it

Is it possible to automate population of yaml parameters? some kind of checkboxes or answer for popup windows? I want to make it more convenient on phone screen

I'm afraid not! :/

I think there was an update, it seems like you can have multiple tags without commas (just spaces) now.

Pls clarify my doubt sir does it have tabla soft????? Pls tell sir

Hi there, I wonder if you can have a link to a note in the frontmatter. Something like Author: [[Carl Sagan]]. thanks in advance.

Hi, i'm afraid not as that wouldn't make sense to put in a yaml header, it won't tell you the header is invalid but obsidian will not recognize the link. You'll have to put your links outside the yaml header

what's the theme used in your obsidian

When I switch to reading view my metadata looks completely different than in your example. It's named "Properties" instead of "Metadata" and it includes symbols and generally looks "prettier". Is this due to some update or did I mess around too much with plugins/themes?

what's the difference between tags and type

I'm using this text: {{date}} | {{time}}, in a journal it picks a date and time but not when I copy/paste this text in a note. any ideas why?

@FromSergio

It's meant to be used in a template scenario so it needs to be placed in a template. When I face your use case I just use the natural language dates plugin

Is this still the way to go now with the property feature implemented?

@@FromSergio Thanks. It was the dashes - to create the frontmatter/metadata. I think possibly it was one of two things.
