Performance improvements:
Table views and MDM code blocks won't include "insert field" buttons by default anymore to increase speed. new "Show inser field" Button in table view to display insert fields buttons new "showAddField" option in mdm code block, set it to showAddField: true to display insert fields in display insert buttons in the table Table view rebuild has been optimized so as not be triggered automatically When there's a change in a fileClass, a refresh button will be highlighted in the table view. Click on it to rebuild the table
0.6.10
Performance improvement for codeblocks and tableviews
Metadata Menu 0.6.9
complete walk-through by Danny Hatcher : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi4Uz7TZLOM
Improvement
- code block for fileclass table view
- fileclass view reopening at start
- existing saved view can now be modified
- choose fileclass at filecreation
- add fileclass to file command
- global formula and lookup auto-calculation toggler in settings
- fileclass default icon refactoring
- extend fileclass views with child fileclasses
syntax for codeblock:
```mdm
fileClass: <your file class> mandatory
view: <your saved view> optional
files per page: <a number> optional
start: <a number> optional
```
Fix
- formula not updating on click
- single char field not parsed
0.6.7
Fix for icon in table view
📆 MetadataMenu 0.6.6
I should have named this plugin with a shorter name 😅. I'll abbreviate it to MDM below
improvements
- linkPath for datefield accepts a template: You can use templates to build your path with the formating token syntax of moment.js . For example
Daily/Notes/{{YYYY}}/{{MM}}will render[[Daily/Notes/2024/01/2024-01-01]]. That can be useful if you have split your daily notes by subfolders for example - MDM icon displayed before the link in tables
- map fileClass with folder now matches subfolders
Fix
- MDM icon show up for fileClass links in preview mode
- click on a link in the fileClass table view now includes the full path to open the file
- file links in canvas field now correctly rendered in frontmatter
0.6.5
Improvements: - Fileclass table view: Each filter now comes with a value selector with values depending on the type of the field - Fileclass table view: Filters now accept regex pattern - Fileclass table view: Page ranges are folded when there are too many pages ranges resulting in a cluttered view - Date field: new command to clear the value of the field. Bug fix when the date entered wasn't parsed by natural language dates plugin - Boolean fields: less ambiguous icon to toggle the value of the field
Fix: - dataview first index not causing competing queries recalculation anymore - slash command not working at start
0.6.4
Improvements - replaced "add new field" by "insert missing field" in fields options - enable overriding field name in children fileclasses - fileClass add button is now bound to "show button in file explorer" setting
Performance - queries resolution are made asynchronously - new setting to scope the plugin to the frontmatter only - removed values indexing
Fix - input field with templates not broken when overriding text
0.6.3
Fixes - btn in property section for IPadOS - updateFormulas and updateLookups not recalculating at start anymore → improves launch time - dvField for date not broken anymore
0.6.2
New display for formula field errors: the icon will be displayed in red instead of a Notice popping up
0.6.1
New Fields types: - JSON - YAML (frontmatter only) - Object (collection of fields) enabling nested fields in frontmatter - Object List (list of collection of fields) enabling nested fields in frontmatter - All fields can define a "Parent" in their setting among the Object or ObjectList fields defined for the fileclass (or globally in the settings)
example 1 : Object field
---
address: # Object field
street: avenue Foch # Input field with <address> as parent field
number: 40 # Number field with <address> as parent field
city: "[[Paris]]" # File field with <address> as parent field
---
example 2 : Object List field
---
players: # ObjectList field
- name: Mathieu # Input field with <players> as parent field
grade: beginner # Select Field with <players> as parent field
- name: Jules # Input field (the same definition as above)
grade: advanced # Select Field (the same definition as above)
---
example 3: Mixing ObjectList and Object
---
players: # ObjectList field
- name: Mathieu # Input field with <players> as parent field
grade: beginner # Select Field with <players> as parent field
address: # Object field with <players> as parent field
street: avenue Foch # Input field with <address> as parent field
number: 40 # Number field with <address> as parent field
city: "[[Paris]]" # File field with <address> as parent field
- name: Jules # Input field (the same definition as above)
grade: advanced # Select Field (the same definition as above)
address: # Object field (the same definition as above)
street: av de la paix # Input field (the same definition as above)
number: 25 # Number field (the same definition as above)
city: "[[Paris]]" # File field (the same definition as above)
---
Fileclass: - globally Exclude folders from fileClass mapping - map a fileclass with folders in your vault (associate their path in the fileclass setting view) - map a fileclass with bookmark groups in your vault (associate their path in the fileclass setting view) - exclude folders, extensions, regex from indexing - Fileclass creation: button next to the fileclass folder to facilitate the fileclass creation (removes 2 steps) - open fileclass settings after fileclass creation (removes 4 steps) - Button to directly Insert missing fields in frontmatter from the metadata menu modal (removes 1 step) - fileclass table views can be sorted by multiple columns by order, their column can be ordered and hidden. Your custom filtering/sorting/column arrangement can be saved in a "saved view". You can define a favorite saved view that will show up when hitting the fileclass icon - field modifier for object and objectlist fields in dataview tables
Commands and Menus: - removed the "per field" options in the menu - added an "Index Metadata Menu fields" command to force-reindex in case some data is incosistent in the modals - Two way to nagivate in the - Metadata menu commands in the property section (with an option to deactivate it) - fields modal can be called in properties section (manage field at cursor)
Others: - manage lookup field manual change (manually changed fields are skipped in update lookups so as not to be overwritten
Indexing: - new indexing mecanism - independent from dataview and obsidian - new index status in the status bar showing a rotating icon when the plugin is indeing data (meaning some values could be not up to date until the indexing is finished) - the index status shows if there are Formulas or Lookup that have changed in a note and that haven't been automatically updated (when autoupdate is set to false in their setting). click on the icon to update all formulas and lookups in this note - the metadatmenu button is displayed in a specific color (--text-warning) if there are Formulas or Lookup that have changed in a note and that haven't been automatically updated (when autoupdate is set to false in their setting). click on the index status icon to update all at once or open the Note Fields Modal to update them one by one
🧹deprecated functions - api : insertValues - api : replaceValues

🌝Metadata Menu 0.4.6 : Canvas Group Links fields
🔗 Canvas Group Link fields combine Canvas field and Canvas Group field: They will be updated with the links to node's files that are linked to matching groups (instead of group names given by Canvas Group fields). Use case: Use file nodes as kind of tagging for groups (see the picture for more clarity) Documentation here: https://mdelobelle.github.io/metadatamenu/settings/#canvas-group-link-options
🤿 Subpath for Canvas fields: when a file node is narrowed to a header, the link returned in the canvas field contains the full path#sub-path
🐭 Input, Date and Number field modal improvement: type Enter will validate the field (faster than clicking the check button)
0.4.5
🎉Happy new year everyone. Metadata Menu 0.4.5 brings a bunch of fixes for bugs that appeared with version 0.4.0 (due to new way of managing frontmatter). No longer broken:
Mobile version of the plugin is no longer broken

Some unexpected behavior with autosuggest in frontmatter may still appear. Don’t hesitate to file an issue in github: we’ll find ´em all
0.4.1
🪩 Metadata Menu 0.4.1 has been released. It brings more capabilities and more fun with metadata and canvas combination.
📥 Introducing Canvas Group fields : Update your metadata based on groups in canvas, those fields will get updated with the names of groups matching specific conditions (color, label) their nodes belong to. See it in action in this tutorial to create a simple Kanban canvas: https://youtu.be/G47AYkmoKJs
0.4.0

🎁 Links in frontmatter are surrounded with double quotes: ready for dataview and frontmatter links
🪓 replaceValues and insertValues api methods are deprecated and will be removed in the next version. They are replaced by postValues that will create or update values
🛷 many changes under the hood to improve speed for fields indexing. As usual, some bugs may have not been identified, don't hesitate to open issues in github
0.3.7
Metadata Menu 0.3.7 has been released 🧚🏻
🦁 The Fileclass View has been improved. You have now 3 tabs:
A table view listing all notes with this fileClass or supercharged tag where you can now paginate the table, sort it, filter it.
A field view listing all the fileClass fields where you can change their settings, remove or add a field
A settings view where you can preset the records per page for the table view, the icon for the metadatamenu button for this fileClass, map it with tags and set tag aliases, set a parent fileClass and exclude fields
demo here: https://youtu.be/3jukvV7OODg 🐘 You can now click on the link in the fileClass table view, it will open the note in a new tab 🦅 Manage field at cursor now automatically toggles boolean fields and move cycle fields forwards 🦓 Bug fixes: MultiSelect display in dataview table with some links in it. FileClass table view not showing note with more than one fileClass
0.3.6
Metadata Menu 0.3.6 🪐 🔭 fileClass and supercharged Tags table view: Display a dataview table of all notes with a given fileClass or supercharged tag, and gives the capability to modify them directly from the table. This is accessible from command palette "Open fileClass view" (you can set hotkey for it), or from the context menu of a file (in the sub menu of a fileClass)
🎭 Aliases for supercharged tags: you can bind a fileClass with any tag you want by setting tagNames: [tag1, tag2, ...] in the frontmatter of the fileClass. If there's no tagNames, the fileClass will be mapped with the tag of the same name (thanks @MMoMM.org for the idea)
🎹 Command palette to insert a specific field in the note (therefore you can set a hotkey to insert your favorite fields) (thanks @Miro_Kee for the idea)
🎨 Complete refactoring of the styling to better match the native UI of obsidian. 🛠 Fixed date field with linkPath equal to the root folder (thanks davidbench for the PR) 🛠 Fixed broken links in docs (thanks @bri (they/m) ) 🛠 Fixed insertValue api method bug when the note has no frontmatter 🧹 Code cleaning. in case something is broken, don't hesitate to open an issue on github

You can even set them to not-auto-update (freeze the results and update them on-demand)
0.3.3
☀️ Metadata Menu 0.3.3 Thanks a lot for all your nice feedbacks about v0.3.0 and your ideas to improve supercharged tags. In v0.3.3 you will find:
🪺 Support for nested fileClasses and supercharged tags
📚 Bulk insert fields in a note from the context menu or the metadata menu button : insert fields available from all fileClasses / supercharged tags defined, or on a fileclass-per-fileclass mode
🔧 Some field indexing performance improvement for large vaults (WIP)
0.3.0
☄️Metadata Menu 0.3.0
💪🏻 Note Supercharged tags: Bind tags with fileClass definition. When you put a supercharged tag anywhere in a note, all fields defined in its fileClass definition are available for this note. 🐣 Create a supercharged tag: from existing or not yet exisiting tags 🐶🦁🚗🗺️ Add multiple fileClass and supertags per note: combine fileClass, supercharged tags and fileclass queries to finegrain which metadata fields are available for your note.There's a priority management If the same field is defined in serveral fileclasses. 📋New Note's metadata fields form: access all available metadata fields for your note in a single form where you can easily:
insert a field
update a field
see which fileclass/supertag the field belongs to
change the field settings
add a new field definition to one of the supercharged tag/fileclass of this note (it will therefore be available for other notes sharing the same supercharged tags and fileclasses)
✨ new Note's metadata button will be added right next to the note's link/tab header/... to access the note's metadata form without opening the note or navigating in the context menu. 👨🏻🎨 The Note's metadata button icon can be customized in the fileClass definition (from lucide.dev icons set). You can customize where these buttons are displayed or hidden in the settings. 🤝When used in combination with the Supercharged links plugin, you get a great understanding of what a note is about and great ease to manipulate its metadata from anywhere in your vault. 📌Better UX for section choice for "add a field at section" command. 🔧Lots of under-the-hood optimization, so if anything doesn’t work as expected, don't hesitate to open an issue in github.
0.2.11
Metadata Menu 0.2.11 is available:
📶 File and MultiFile fields suggester modals are now sorted alphabetically and you can customize the sorting order (by creation time, reverse order, ...)
0.2.9
🪅 Metadata Menu 0.2.9 with many QOL improvements 🏖
Improve your File and MultiFile fields with aliases 🎭 Improve your Select and MultiSelect fields with a note of values 📝 Add missing values to settings from the field modal 😬 Create a custom values list with a dataview query 🤓
⚙️ lots of "under the hood" improvements. Don't hesitate to create an issue on github in case of weird behavior
0.2.7
✨ Metadata Menu 0.2.7
🔎 Display lookup fields as bullet list below the field. As a reminder: the lookup field is automatically updated when one of the target note is modified, just like a dataview view, but as genuine markdown. This may be useful to automatize your Maps Of Content (MOC) for example
0.2.0
🎊 Metadata Menu 0.2.0 is live with new exciting stuff
🔎 Lookup fields: they are like Dataview inline expressions (flexible and automatically updated) but persistent. The new calculated value is replaced in your note and therefore is just regular text. Check the documentation (https://mdelobelle.github.io/metadatamenu/settings/#lookup-options) https://youtu.be/ad0nJf8TZP8
🖱Select fields: you can now add new values to the settings for your Select fields (and multi select) directly from the modal when typing a value that is not yet in the suggestions. The focus as also been improved: you can 100% use Select fields with your keyboard now!
⚙️ core engine: the plugin has been improved so as to be fully synchronous thanks to an internal index. Even if it's been tested, there may be some edge cases that I didn't catch, don't hesitate to open a bug in Github. As a result, fieldModifier for Dataview tables are easier to write (they no longer require Promise, async, await instructions). See the documentation
0.1.34
Metadata Menu 0.1.34 🐣 ⌚ introducing timeshifting: you can now set shift intervals to push Date fields in the future. This may be useful for spaced repetition in your knowledge management workflow or to postpone dates in your project management workflow
0.1.31
Metadata Menu 0.1.31 🎯 New command: Manage fields at cursor. This command is accessible from right-click or from command palette (you can assign a hotkey). Updating fields within a note gets faster and your notes get a little bit closer to forms!
0.1.28
Metadata Menu 0.1.28 😎 * 🗂 MultiFile field type is now available: select multiple files from your vault (optionally matching a dataview query) * 📌Native suggest modal for multiple values selection (for MultiFile and MultiSelect types)
0.1.27
Metadata Menu 0.1.27: Manage metadata inside callouts
0.1.22
Hi! Metadata Menu 0.1.22 is live 🎉 Access your metadata by "right-clicking" in live preview. Field options are also sorted in a sub menu: your context menus are therefore much shorter and better organized. I've also migrated the documentation in github pages: https://mdelobelle.github.io/metadatamenu/
0.1.19
Hi! Metadata Menu 0.1.19 is live with many new features and QOL improvements. (thank you for your feature requests, they gave me many ideas for this version) 🥳 UI improvements: native icons, suggesters instead of dropdown to select and insert fields, better focus in field modals. You should be able to manage your fields without your mouse or arrow keys. Metadata management has become blazzing fast. There's a "template" option for Input fields to help you fill them: each {{attribute}} will be converted in a dedicated input or dropdown and the input will be filled with the rendered template. See demo 5 in documentation "Input Fields with template" You can now associate a fileClass with a dataview query: for every file matching the query, the fields settings (type, options...) will be managed by the given fileClass. Usefull to have every file in a folder, or with certain tags, to be applied a fileClass without having to clutter your frontmatter with fileClass attribute. See documentation and especially demo 6 in documentation for full demonstration of fileClass
0.1.15
Metadata Menu 0.1.15 🔥🚀 Add a field directly from a dataview table cell.
0.1.14
Metadata Menu 0.1.14 🎉 📆You can now manage Date fields in your metadata: - insert or modify a date in frontmatter or inline field with a date picker or in natural language (thanks to Natural Language Date plugin) - insert dates as link or string - control dates directly from a dataview table
0.1.11
Metadata Menu 0.1.11 is live 🥳. There's a new field type available: File File fields will be populated with a link to a file in your vault. The selection of this link is facilitated by a dedicated file suggester. You can also set an optional dataview query to specify which links should be available for this field 🤓
0.1.9
all commands including field autocompletion now work for - "in-sentence fields" (dataview style [field:: value]) - even within task - in list fields (- field:: value) - styled fields (field:: value...)
0.1.5
💡 Types : Metadata Menu can now manage more field types: Number, Boolean, standard Input, Select from list, Multi select from list and Cycle from list.
🔧 Settings : Field types and options can be defined with a unified UX from the plugin settings or from fileClass fields defiinition.
🔎 Dataview : You can benefit from specific controls to modify your fields depending on their types directly from your dataview table 🎉
↕️ The new Number type can be set with a step option (for increment and decrement feature), a min and a max options for field validation
This version comes with a significant refactoring and despite the tests some bugs may remain 🙈. don't hesitate to open an issue in github.
0.1.3
🎉 Boolean is now a new supported type in metadatamenu Boolean fields can be defined either globally in settings (preset fields) or for a given fileClass From there you can - toggle boolean fields from context menu - define a fieldModifier in a dataview table and toggle your boolean field directly from the checkbox in your table ✅
⚠️ fieldWithMenu (introduced in 0.1.1) has been replaced by fieldModifier (see Readme)
0.1.1
Modify target file's fields directly from a dataview table (limited to tables created with dataviewjs). See read.me for « how to ».
0.1.0
Metadata Menu v0.1.0 is available with styling improvements for modals by @SlRvb (thanks a lot) and an first API (see Readme for details) It also comes with a lot of code cleaning and refactoring. Not everything is properly tested 🙈 so don’t hesitate to open issues if something is broken.
