Missing status options in board view

Open creativefibro opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

What happened?

When adding a board view to my table view the status field I wished to use was not available in the status drop down.

What did you expect to happen?

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

I have my properties set up using Metadata Menu. I added the correct folder to use for the Project and told it to ignore the pages created by the Folder Note Plugin. In the table view all is fine (except I can't edit fields - a Metadata Menu conflict?) When I open the board view the property blog-stage which is showing up in the table is not available in the drop down options, it is showing 10 possibilities out of the 18 properties I have.

Anything else we need to know?

I had the same issue, I found that the status gets hidden from the kanban board when you have notes with this field holding values as an array.

Change in all files:

---
status:
  - to-do
---

by:

---
status: to-do
---

One of the main issues is that Obsidian properties are handled as arrays, so, anytime you change a property, it will bring back the status into array format.

Best way to avoid Obsidian properties editor get in the way changing back and forth the format of the status field is deactivating ig: Settings -> Editor -> Properties in document = Source
