Tags & Frontmatter Issues

[MattofLegend]

Maybe I am confused on how this should work

1. I create a new folder.
2. I create 3 blank notes in that folder.
3. MBD file is created and I click table view.
4. I create a tag field.
5. I turn on "Save All Context Fields To Frontmatter"

Now what happens next seems to be unexpected and inconnsistent.

1. I add #Test to Note 1 just in the document, but The tag does not show up in the tag field. Expected result is for the tag to populate in Tag Column.
2. I add Test tag via the Tag Column in the table view to Note 2, but Test does not appear in the note, nor is any frontmatter created.
3. I add frontmatter to note three with an empty tags: area, but when I select a tag in table view it inserts null after the tags, no matter what tag I put into it.

Shouldn't those fields be synced?

Will investigate what’s going on, currently cleaning up all the fields and their syncing behavior.

• #2 was fixed in the last release, but I will see if there’s any other issues.
• #3 sounds like a bug, will investigate.
• #1 is not current behaviour and will look into adding it

I used tags in the body of the documents before native frontmatter support in Obsidian, so also interested in the solution to this
