Description
Category: Productivity Tools

The Conditional Properties plugin automates frontmatter management using IF/THEN rules that eliminate repetitive manual updates. Define conditions based on property values or note titles, then apply actions like adding tags, removing values, overwriting properties, or deleting them entirely. You can also modify note titles with prefixes, suffixes or complete overwrites using dynamic placeholders for dates and filenames. Rules support six operators including exact matches, contains checks, and existence tests. Multiple actions can be combined in a single rule for complex workflows. Execute rules on demand across your entire vault or just the current file or schedule automatic scans at intervals targeting the latest created notes, latest modified notes or everything.

🎯 What Changed
The plugin now detects H1 headings only immediately after YAML frontmatter, completely ignoring first-level headings that appear in the middle or end of documents.

🔧 Problem Solved
Before: The plugin considered any H1 in the document as the "title", even if it was on line 500. This caused issues where:

Files with H1 headings in internal sections were treated as having a title
The IF first level heading does not exist rule didn't work correctly
There was no consistency about which H1 represented the note's title
Now: Only the H1 immediately after YAML frontmatter is considered the "title". Example:

---
type: note
---

# This Is The Title  ← ✅ Detected

Content...

## Section

More content...

# Another Heading  ← ❌ Ignored (not the title)

⚠️ Breaking Change
This change may affect existing files:

Files with H1 not immediately after YAML: Will be treated as "no title" and will receive a new H1 at the beginning if rules are configured
Files with multiple H1s: Only the first one (after YAML) will be considered; others will be ignored
✨ Benefits
Consistent behavior: The "title" is always in the same place
Rules work correctly: notExists and isEmpty now reliably detect files without titles
Configuration independent: Completely ignores Obsidian's "Show inline title" setting
More predictable: You know exactly where the plugin will add/modify the title
🔍 Technical Details
Removed dependency on MetadataCache.headings
Direct file content reading with vault.read()
Position verification of H1 relative to frontmatter
Ensures only whitespace can exist between YAML and H1
📝 Primary Use Case
Perfect for vaults using plugins like Granola that create notes with structured content but no initial title, allowing Conditional Properties to automatically add titles using {filename} or {date} placeholders.

🚀 How to Update
Reload the plugin in Obsidian (Settings → Community plugins → Reload)
Review your rules - files with H1 headings not at the top may now be processed
Test with "Run conditional rules on current file" command
📚 Documentation
For more information about H1 detection and title modification rules, see the plugin documentation.
