as warning to everyone trying the plugin. ALWAYS make backups of the vault before even installing it and then everytime you change the columns if you have the one setting ticked that removes the field from the files too. also the plugin doesn't like nested lists like key: key2: - value 1 - value 2 key3: - vaule 3 if you have things like that it changes it into the "object" writing style with key: {[key: [value 1, value2]}, {key: value}]} or something similar (not sure on the exact syntax). so it can change your existing metadata in a way that you don't want.

i tested it again. this time it didn't change the way the nested lists where written inside the note but they still weren't rendered correctly inside the table. the LaTeX of the formulas was not rendered out and it looked like this: {"AC_Power_Var":{"Active":["$P=U\\cdot I\\cdot cos\\varphi$","$P=S\\cdot cos\\varphi$","$P=\\frac{Q}{tan\\varphi}$","$P=\\sqrt{S^{2}-Q^{2}}$"],"Reactive":[ and so on. (copied out of the field it shows.) the funny thing is that it is putting \ before the \ of the latex syntax. but it isn't how it is written inside the note. conclusion DB folder still hates nested fields. the problem is that i use a nested field because the sub fields have all different names but i want to have the formulas all inside one column. so i put all formulas into a main "formulas" field and have the first sub field the name of the formula and then a 2nd deep sub field for each variable. and in that is then the formula. so i can't just rewrite this structure so that i have no sub fields because then each formula would need it's own column or i would need to write a VERY long choose() header for each formula table.

If the tables of this plugin are made with DataviewJS, there should be the possibility.

Databases and the Taskmanager are the reason I‘m trying to build my system in Obsidian now, without them I just couldn’t do it 😂 One question that popped up when I created a few databases is: Is it possible to fill in the columns from the page itself? My usecases: Daily Notes I want to be able to view important things that happened that day in the database view. So I created a column called „highlights“, but it seems I have to go outside of my daily note and into the database itself to fill it in? I saw that you changed the text inside the columns from the actual note, but that was only after you already put in some text already via the database right?
