I'm still slowly incorporating this into the rest of the vault, as it will help me start transitioning to normal Properties to prepare for Obsidian revamp. ## Benefits Helps create the idea of a front-end and back-end in your Obsidian notes. Instead of directly modifying your metadata, you have a more user-friendly interface to input your data. ## Learning ### Tutorial The documentation is so good I do not have much to add except for the ways I'm personally using it. You can check out the following: https://www.moritzjung.dev/obsidian-meta-bind-plugin-docs/ ### Input Anatomy But as a quick summary, there are usually 4 main components: - INPUT[] - syntax to create a meta bind input - INPUT[textArea()] - usually the type of input you want to create (in this case textArea) - INPUT[textArea():metadataValue] - the metadata field you want to store the value in - INPUT[textArea(placeholder('insert text here')):metadataValue] - any additional arguments you want to pass into the input field. In this case it changes the text you see before anything is inside If we put the final input within `backticks` (\`), we get: `INPUT[textArea(placeholder('insert text here')):metadataValue]` #### Setting object fields `INPUT[number(defaultValue({{VALUE: KPI Number Goal}})):KPIs["{{VALUE: KPI Name}}"].Goal]` ### Example vault To download the example vault, you can use use another website to download the zipped subdirectory like so: https://download-directory.github.io/?url=https://github.com/mProjectsCode/obsidian-meta-bind-plugin/tree/master/exampleVault ### Example video For a deep dive tutorial and showcase video, you can watch:  ## Uses in the vault ### Text Input - [Documentation](https://www.moritzjung.dev/obsidian-meta-bind-plugin-docs/reference/inputfields/textarea/) #### Ultimate Starter Vault - Used in [[Periodic reviews]] - Text areas are used in [[Reflection Addon]] to add your summary + achievements into metadata - Number inputs are used in [[Yearly Review Template]] to set your ideal [[Wheel of life]] - Habits - Used in the related periodic note where you are tracking your [[Habits#Metric]] - Goal and project notes for the description and "why" behind your objectives #### Obsidian University - Used a lot in periodic reviews, goals, etc to write out different things like the plan/objective and your "why", which can then be used as reminders when viewing from dataview queries ### Progress Bars Use a slider to set a numerical metadata value for a note. #### Ultimate Starter Vault - Used in [[Periodic reviews]] in places like wheel of life ratings in [[Weekly Review Template#Wheel of life]] via progress bars Key Results in [[Projects]] or [[Goals]] to keep track of progress #### Obsidian University Used in [[Daily Template]] to rate your day from 1-10
