    i guess you looked at https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/c5e5adde-5459-409b-b34d-a0d75cbb1052/#inline-schema-anatomy? Maybe my brief writeup here helps you https://mstempl.netlify.app/post/dendron-schemas/ or my repo of schemas and templates here https://github.com/Bassmann/dendron-schemas/. Another option would be to use notes with a custom trait as explained here on the wiki https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/bdZhT3nF8Yz3WDzKp7hqh/

    Hi, if I try to create a note I get this error "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0')", any ideas on how to debug it? Everything used to be fine 😦

    I've just tried using VSCodium and getting "error while running command: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map')"

    check the Dendron output on the Output tab for detailed logs I did create a note today on VSCodium, something is up with your setup

    I haven't used it on VSCodium, but I believe I've seen similar "Cannot read properties of" errors, usually if either a note's YAML is weird or I've done something wrong with a schema. Any chance you have a note without a valid ID in the YAML?

    I'm getting it on a brand new install (which was the purpose of trying Vs codium) with a new vault 😕

    Yuck. I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I don't know what to suggest.

    Hello! I am pretty new to Dendron but I was not able to find any informatio on the website. I have two questions. 1) Is it possible to have two parents note share the same children (basically I would like to reach the same note from two different pathways)? 2) Is it possible to add the link to the parent note as the bottom of the note (basically the same as the children's link but for the parent note)

    Hi there! I hope you're enjoying Dendron! Are you asking about having these links made automatically? You should be able to add the links manually, but I don't know of an easy way to make them appear automatically. For 1, I believe each note can only have a single parent. Of course, you can definitely link from that child note to the other potential parent. In a note
    parentA/child.md
    , you can link to another hierarchy with
    [[parentB]]
    , as an example. As for 2), you can manually add whatever links you want. There may be a fancy way to do what you want using templates and schema, but those are sort of "expert mode" usage.

    Thank you very much! I am using what you suggested for 1. (I also might try tags). For 2 I will take a look at template and schema but maybe is not so worth it

    I have a question around schemas. I've read the documentation but I'm not really understanding properly. I've look at the official schema repo that says to use the Lookup Schema task and then create a new one, but it keeps complaining about me trying to do nested schemas which aren't supported. Maybe I'm not understanding the usage properly? I'm trying to use the following schema: https://github.com/Bassmann/dendron-schemas/blob/main/cloud.schema.yml

    Tags are another great approach!

    Hmm that should work. At least it did when I created the repo 😉. Actually I think it should suffice to copy the yml file into your vault. Let me take a look.

    the markdown preview is now bundled with dendron. you should no longer need to use a separate preview

    Has anyone been able to get the Notion Export Pod to work? I'm leaving my current job and I think my manager will struggle to use Git/Dendron/VS Code

    Sorry if this is a dumb question: - Does the table functionality in Dendron work as in Emacs org-mode? (i.e. if I tab onto the next cell the whole table re-arranges auto-magically?) link: https://orgmode.org/manual/Built_002din-Table-Editor.html (_A table is re-aligned automatically each time you press TAB, RET or C-c C-c inside the table. _)

    By itself it doesn't but there are extensions that do that https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TakumiI.markdowntable or https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pharndt.vscode-markdown-table

    Hi Bassman, this is regarding the schemas that you shared. Can this schema be added to an already existing workplace with similar entries like weekly review and monthly review, etc. Thanks.

    I will agree with these options. But from my experience this one https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TakumiI.markdowntable is better.

    To be honest I found that one only today when I looked then up but indeed seems better. I switched to it from the other one

    There are two options: if you just need a single of the schemas it suffices to copy the yml file in your vault and run the
    reload index
    command. Alternatively you can add the complete repo as a remote vault.

    Sure. I have been using Dendron for a while but never used a schema. Will try this. Thanks 🙂

    Things got busy so I'm just getting back to this. The setting you mentioned seems like it would be the one to control this, but I can't get it to work. It says there are three values: Extract, Link and None, but in the settings.json file for "dendron.defaultLookupCreateBehavior" it will only accept 'selection2link' and 'selectionExtract'.
