Child notes show up with different properties than the main property attributed

Open siainbuletin opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hello! Lovely plugin, I was convinced to use it after I watched Danny Hatcher's latest video. However, I would like to make use of the parent/child fileClasses and use the "native" table view inside of the setting file for the file class, but when looking at the table for properties, they all show up separately, even if all files use the same property across file classes.

Here is what I mean.

Is there any possibility to merge all of these columns? Or are they really considered to be different properties?

I have not set the creator property as a different field for each of the fileClasses. It's only included in the "main" fileClass, which is simply called "text".

you can click on the children selector icon image and select the children's columns that you want to display.

Does that suit your need?

I actually clicked on this. What I was talking about was the possibility of merging all of the "creator" properties. The reason why they're split is because I tag everything "authored", so to say, with creator, whether that's a text in Zotero, a musical piece or a film I have a note on in my vault. I would like to keep the children classes to "text" separate but still have the same "creator" tag. I can see what children class a file is anyway because of the emojis I added with Supercharged Links.
