Optional Properties for fileClasses

[ChristinWhite]

Does Metadata Menu have anyway to mark properties as optional for a fileClass? I'd love to be able to have properties I may or may note need (alias, cssclasses, etc.) that are not inserted as missing fields but can be added and managed by Metadata menu.

It looks like one other person requested this in #157 specifically for alias properties but I'd love to see this configurable for any property.

Thanks!

I don't get clearly what you expect to achieve. Could you paste an example here?

This is my Global fileClass, I want every note to have Title, Tags, Description and Class. Not every note should have an Alias or a CSSClass though so when I hit insert missing fields I only want former four, not the latter optional two classes inserted.

I’d still like to be able to invoke the MetaData Menu UI however to manually insert and set values for the optional properties.

Does this make it more clear?

Seconded. This is similar to how Tana does it. Essentially, optional fields should not be part of the "template" that is loaded by default.
