Add Ability to Edit Frontmatter Properties

[giittyy]

It would be super helpful to be able to edit the front matter.

Same here, I use different properties than the default created ones.

You can already do that :)

@hjamet why do I have to uncheck the Custom Note Template in order to get custom frontmatter though? this shouldn't be boolean.

[hjamet]

Probably a sad consequence of my total inability to make clear interfaces ^^
To save space, I added the checkbox here. By default, a specific frontmatter is added. If you want to modify it, just add it as code in the template just below after unchecking the checkbox:

---
is_this_a_custom_frontmatter: true
---
<Remaining frontmatter template>

[Kageetai]

@hjamet So this means the template below is applied either way, the toggle just means if a certain default frontmatter is used? That is indeed very unclear and disabling the toggle made me think it means the template below is not applied at all.
Or is the toggle entirely independent from the template?

I've got a new beta at 0.0.30-beta which you should be able to install using the BRAT plugin. This build allows you to specify the frontmatter as a separate field (not in the main template), and automatically prepends the recording_id so that is always available. Please let me know if anyone has any issues with this, I may slurp in a few other things into 0.0.30 as well

I'm sorry, but I still don't get it. Here's what I tried it with the toggle off:

1. Added the {{date}} to test it and the system automatically included the recording_id: xxxxxxxx in the same line braking the front matter (images below).

2. Added recording_id: {{recording_id:}} to my personalized front matter, and that not only didn't work, but I think I found a bug. The combination below is logging me off Voicenotes when I click on “manual sync”.

---
recording_id: {{recording_id:}}
date: {{date}}
---
{{ transcript }}

This build allows you to specify the frontmatter as a separate field

As a source of inspiration for you, I believe that the new Obsidian Web Clipper accomplishes this very well.

Thanks for that change. This new beta version installed itself automatically for me, even without BRAT 😅
It looks nice and more understandable. Just seems like some of the predefined frontmatter doesn't work. The {{ preformatted_tags }} doesn't show up in the document

sure, however the obsidian web clipper is a browser plugin and not a plugin specifically for Chrome

would you mind trying 0.0.30-beta3 which should allow you to specify just frontmatter in its own field? if this works fine for a few folks I'll release it.

[vladcampos]

would you mind trying 0.0.30-beta3

Sure, I can do that. I'll install the BRAT plugin to understand how it works. Never used it before.

[vladcampos]

@kinabalu good morning from Porto. I installed and tested 0.0.30-beta3, and completely changed both, the Frontmatter and Note Templates to match my needs. Everything is working fine. I have one question, though.

I noticed that recording_id: is always included, even if I don't add it to my personalized Frontmatter. My guess is this has something to do with the synching process. If that's the case, can you at least allow us to add it to a different position on the Frontmatter?

When I tried doing it by adding recording_id: {{recording_id}} the result was two proprieties. The one I created plus the one automatically generated by the plugin. Would it be possible to create some sort of check to see if the propriety already exists and use it to add the ID instead of creating another one?

[Kageetai]

In the same vain, I would actually prefer to be able to define that name of the field, something like just id.
Thanks for the changes upfront
