    Thank you for the tutroial! It works well on my project and now I am wondering is it possible to show two pieces content for the same category? So I am working on song analysis, and there will be two singers for one song. I do not want to have like Singer1 and Singer2 in my csv, as eventually in Obsidian they will not show together as "Singer".
    Still, its a great video!

    Worked great! Thank you. I'm running AD&D 1e so had to do a custom import, and the template setup was magic to me until you explained it. Now searching for a better database...no descs in the one I found.

      Where did you get the csv file? I'm looking at doing a 2E/Castles & Crusades.

    Thank you for this tutorial! I was wondering how this substantively changes with a JSON file? For example, reading in JSON text of a transcribed audio file according to the time stamp and excerpt. I do appreciate your help. :)

      It should be able to work with any json file assuming it's structured correctly.

    How do you deal with duplicates. I'm importing csv whose name column has duplicates. How do you use two columns to create the note name to prevent duplicates from - skipping creation.

      I would clean the data in Excel prior to importing tbh.

      Thanks. LOL I actually worked all night on a vault for processing csv files with transactions - worked out so beautifully. I created a GitLab repo and a huge project and documentation for the vault. Just got rid of my Money app because of Obsidian. I love it!!!! @@JoshPlunkett

      Interesting concept. Is it the right tool? How many people would you need to use it? I feel like anymore than 1 user and it would fall apart pretty quickly.

      @@DrugvigilIf it's just you I would look at the DB Folder plugin. Use it to create a database of customers. Each customer would have their own note and the DB Folder will then sit on top of them all and display all their values in a table.

      @Drugvigil honestly I don't think it's the right tool for the job then. You need something that's server based so that anyone in the company can update or access customer details as required.

    Josh - brand new Obs user. I need to bulk load +100 csv rows to md using this plugin. One question if you don’t mind i have a column called “relationship” or “association” can I embed the link markdown syntax “[[doclink]]” in my csv column so the links are generated by this method?

      Certainly. It's just text at the end of the day.

    Did you figure it out? why the inline dataview query are giving "-"

    • @JoshPlunkett

      Dataview sometimes bugs out and you can navigate out of the note and back to the note usually fixes it.

    Can we update metadata with this plugin?

      Not for existing notes. But you can use it to populate meta data at time of creation.

    • @JoshPlunkett
      @JoshPlunkett  2 роки тому

      I've had that before and it's always been due to errors in my handlebar file. It can be sensitive. Doesn't like special characters or spaces in the column names for example.

      It can also be impacted by the style of CSV used. If I used anything but MS-DOS, nothing happened.
