Tags do not get transferred well when converting from inline to frontmatter (obsidian 1.4 properties update)

[kiithy]

Description of problem

• When using the code shown below, a new tags property is created but the tags are not transferred from inline to frontmatter(not seen in the new Obsidian properties feature)

Obsidian note before usage of code

Obsidian note after usage of code

Code used

from pathlib import Path
from pyomd import Notes, Note
from pyomd.metadata import MetadataType

path_dir = Path("/path/to/directory/file")
note = Note(path_dir)

note.metadata.move(fr=MetadataType.INLINE, to=MetadataType.FRONTMATTER)
note.update_content(inline_inplace=False , inline_position="top" , inline_tml="standard")  #type: ignore
note.write()

Extra Issue

• Certain inline properties are not converted to text properties when the text properties include links

@kiithy , what about your links? Are they moved properly for you? I think we are missing double quotation to wrap the links.

If you only have issues on tags, and you only use them in properties, there is a workaround. You could find and replace (#tag_name to tag_name). Another alternative is using a community plugin called "Linter". It will fix it automatically.

@Syavash-kazemi As of the day I tried, they do not work as they made a link that was originally [[this link]] become [["this link"]] which is causing the link to not work. I also have not tested the functionality such that when it has more than one comma separated link, the code is able to detect and transfer it as a List type instead of just a Text type.

I have the same issue, I was following the "official" examples:

• The official example is from FRONTMATTER to INLINE and it works well. That is, to convert a tag type/book to a field called type with a link to the note Book as the value (meaning that the value seen in source code was "[[Book]]")
• But then I wanted to revert it, and from INLINE to FRONTMATTER fails as described on this bug report
