You've sucked me into this rabbit hole! I can't believe how powerful Obsidian can become while being totally *free!* It has more features and flexibility than most paid options. Thanks for making these videos. I'm really sprucing up my worldbuilding with all these tricks.

this look incredible, I am looking to use Obsidian to organize the data for my DnD campaign I am going to run, but just found out about Obsidian and am overwhelmed lol. I have been using Notion to be a bit organized but I like the speed and offline nature of Obsidian, and I can still use Notion as a wiki or source for images for quick sharing over Discord/Foundry. Awesome video!

I'm trying to create a table for my factions on Obsidian, but the app won't find any results for my query... Did I do something wrong? > ```dataview > table raca as Raça, ranque as Ranque > where (conexao = "ClaSchwarzgift") > ```

Honestly that looks ok. I can't immediately see any concerns with it. Without having the source data though it's hard to be sure. If you still need help, the best place to find it is in our community discord. There's an Obsidian Support channel where you can post requests for help and attach your files. Much easier to help that way. obsidianttrpgtutorials.com/Obsidian+TTRPG+Tutorials/Community

So two questions : 1. Is this supposed to properly format your front matter ? As currently I'm only getting the keys and Values but its not adding the lines and what-have-you. 2. Is it possible to change the orientation of the data your imputing as I want to keep things organized if I have to add new fields later

Not sure I am following sorry. It should be adding these into the front matter which by definition should be adding things beteen the --- and ---. Is this what you are referring to? I don't believe it's possible to change the layout.

At 12:45, I tried using placeholder like you did `=this.name` and put in the YAML (name: myname), but it did not populate the name. Is there anything I'm missing ?

In case you haven't figured it out, try `=this.file.name`. Edit: Actually, scratch that. I noticed the YAML created by DB Folder was capitalized, so I updated all the inline queries to match the YAML case (eg, `=this.Name`).

If I add a new note through right click menu, Templater applies the template correctly. However, if the file is created through the Database Folder, the template is not applied. I can't find any other settings that may resolve this issue. Have you seen this?

I had this when I first set it up. It started working shortly after. I would try and reload Obsidian. That usually fixes this sort of thing. Also I did move my Templater note to the very top of the list in the settings. Not sure if that helped.

@@JoshPlunkett It looks like it's an order of operations issue. Templater only works on empty files. Database Folder adds the frontmatter before Templater can fire. I went into the Templater code, removed the check for 0 file size, and it worked. Obviously that's not a permanent solution but it hints at the issue; some sort of sequencing. I'll continue to dig. Thank your for the content and the reply! This is really fun stuff.

I noticed the same behavior and unfortunately the templater won't trigger when there is front matter entered by the DB Folder. Still pretty useful. I just create a new note first then enter the info using the DB Folder.

Inside the database folder note use the settings option (tip right) to access the database folder configuration for this note. Inside there are options to enable the time stamps for hith new and modify of notes.

Apparently when you click the header that you created and then hover over property type you can chose what type you want. For example in my case I wanted "select". I kinda missed that haha.

Hey 👋🏼 Josh, did you found a way to automatically populate the statblock in the template? Stuff like `=this.name` seems to corrupt the statblock (in the !info) for me (no rendering) - would be so great to get this working too. \\edit: first I thought the reason you put the statblock in an !info is to get this work??

You know what I havnt tried this. Interesting concept. I make all my monsters from raw imports so yet to explore this. Maybe if you used an Inlime Script that returned the name but converted to text.

@@JoshPlunkett yeah this should work too I guess but still would be kinda manual. Meanwhile I tried this approach with no success: there is a parse frontmatter setting in the statblock plugin setting, combined with a ‚statblock: true‘ frontmatter line (addable via database folder column). It would work IF the dataview inline command `=this.name` would be recognized inside the statblock in the template. If you use the creature name manually, it works but this breaks the concept.
