metadatamenu's Introduction

Metadata Menu

This plugin is made for data quality enthusiasts: access and manage the metadata of your notes in Obsidian.

Metadata Menu adds context menu items to modifiy target note's frontmatter fields and "inline fields" (dataview syntax) by right-clicking on the link, or within dataview tables

You can define preset types and values for those fields globally in the plugin's settings or on a file-by-file basis thanks to fileClass definition

It also enables frontmatter of inline-field autocompletion with suggested values based on preset values.

General concepts

Metadata Menu can manage any metadata field located in frontmatter (YAML syntax) or in the body of the note with the syntax field:: (dataview style)

Field Types

Metadata Menu gives a type to each field. Available types are:

  • Input (free text) : this is the default type applied to each field if nothing is set for this field (see #Field settings). it will Accept any value
  • Boolean: a field that can Accept true or false or null value
  • Number: a field that can Accept a number (float) value, optionaly within a range (min, max) and can be in/decremented by a step value (default 1)
  • Select: a field that can Accept a single value from a list
  • Multi: a field that can Accept multiple values from a list
  • Cycle: a field that will Cycle through values from a list
  • File: a field that will Accept a link to a file from your vault
  • MultiFile: a field that will Accept multiple links
  • Date: a field that will Accept a date
  • Lookup: a field that will Accept a lookup query

Field settings

By default each field is an Input

You can define a field setting for each field.

A field setting is composed of:

  • a name
  • a type (see ## Field Types list above)
  • options depending on the type

A field setting can defined in:

  • Metadata Menu settings (see # Metadata Menu Settings)
  • in a fileClass note (see # Fileclass)

NB: if a field has a setting defined in the Metadata Menu settings AND in a fileClass note, the setting of the fileClass will take the priority over the setting defined in Metadata Menu settings

Controls

a Field can be modified or added from several locations:

  • autocompletion within the editor mode
  • Obsidian and plugins menus : file explorer, note, calendar, context menu of a link, many other plugins not fully tested ...
  • dataview table if you have dataview plugin installed

Roadmap

  • manage indented lists multi-values frontmatter field

Know Issue

  • autocomplete conflicts with Various Complements plugin
