🐛 Describe the bug

Description

After using ObsidianNew, ObsidianRename or ObsidianExtractNode and saving, I get this invasive warning, I already tried to leave the note_frontmatter_func by default and it doesn't work either.

I don't know if this is a bug in obsidian.nvim or if it is some kind of vim.opt

I actually get the same problem just saving :w the note.

I think (in my case) it might be related to the updated field changing:

Edit: autoread is enabled in my config, but it often does not work the best. Seems this is something upstream Neovim might work on in the future (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/1380). The fact that the files are stored on the windows side of WSL, might not help either

I'm having the same problem, strangely enough some projects have it and some don't!

[NikolaM-Dev]

The problem was having nvim & obsidian open at the same time, I suppose due to plugins that I have in obsidian and plugins that I have in nvim that do actions when I save, such as lint, formatting etc...

Btw, I still have my functions for updated_at and it is not the problem in case anyone considers it

Should I close the issue?

[jorgeavaldez]

I'm also having this issue. Unrelated to having obsidian open in my case.

One thing I've found is that I get some weird error message when I preemptively run :e! in a file.

It seems once I open at least one file and go through this dance, subsequent files seem fine.
