Attached: 1 image Introducing Properties. A simple way to add tags, aliases, dates, and even link between notes. As always, the metadata is stored durably in plain text files local to your device. Obsidian 1.4.0 is now available for early access 💜 https://obsidian.md/changelog/2023-07-26-desktop-v1.4.0/

Obsidian 1.4.0 is currently in early access and it introduces Properties!

This is a game changer for me! I’ve had to use Dataview and other plug-ins to achieve something similar, so I look forward to the native support.

    Sure, I do something similar. I have a note for a person and I have a note for a recurring meeting. In a recurring meeting I have a Dataview field called Host.

    #Meeting
This is my meeting note

Host:: [[John Doe]]

    In a Person note, I have a section for meetings the person hosts. I use Dataview to search for the Host field and see of it matches the current Person note.

    #Person
This is John Doe's note.

# Meetings

dataview
table without ID file.link AS "Meeting"
from #Meeting
where contains(Host, this.file.link)

    The new Properties feature sounds like it’ll be what Dataview fields are. Except now it’ll be in a native interface where I can easily change the information about the note.
