Property Values Browser

Property Values Browser is a small Obsidian plugin that adds a right-sidebar view for browsing frontmatter properties by value.

It is meant to feel like Obsidian's built-in All Properties panel, with one extra action: expand a property to see the distinct values used across the vault. Clicking a value opens Obsidian Search for that exact property/value pair, and right-click menus can delete properties or values from notes.

Features

• Shows frontmatter property names with total counts.
• Expands each property to show distinct values with counts.
• Counts list values separately, whether YAML is inline or multiline.
• Shows blank/null values as (empty).
• Filters property names and values from the top input.
• Clicks property counts to search for every note with that property.
• Clicks value rows to search for notes with that exact property/value pair.
• Right-clicks property rows to delete that property from matching notes.
• Right-clicks value rows to delete that value from matching notes.
• Adds a ribbon icon and command palette command.
• Includes a manual refresh button.

Install

Download these three files from the latest release:

main.js manifest.json styles.css

Put them in <your vault>/.obsidian/plugins/property-values-browser/.

Then reload Obsidian and enable Property Values Browser in Community plugins.

Limitations

• Delete actions update frontmatter in matching notes after confirmation, but the plugin does not provide its own undo history.
• The list is based on Obsidian's metadata cache, so very recent file changes may need a refresh.
