Single Choice Property

English | 简体中文

This is a simple single-feature plugin: Single Choice Property (SCP for short — yes, I'm on purpose.).

Its function is as shown in the image: it can restrict a specific list property to a single value. When added, it directly overwrites the original value without needing to manually delete the old one.

WHY?

Although I think the functionality is self-explanatory... in simple terms, for properties like status or priority, they naturally don’t require "multiple values" (you can’t have a task that is both "in progress" and "cancelled," right?). But having to delete the old value and then add a new one each time is a bit tedious, so I wrote this plugin to automate it for me.

In a word, it's a lazy person's plugin—it doesn't add any new functionality, it just saves you one step :P

FROM:
Click, Ctrl+A, Backspace, Select New Value 

⬇️ TO:
Click, Select New Value

Saving 50% of the operations! 😎

Once Obsidian supports "single-select" property, this plugin will no longer be necessary.

The Capsule Style

The beautiful colorful capsule style is provided by Typify - this plugin is the source of inspiration for me to create SCP — it's simple, elegant, and I truly recommend it. ❤️

How it works

By default, the plugin watches the status property. You can add or remove watched property names in the plugin settings.

When a watched property becomes a list with more than one value, the plugin keeps only the last value and can show a Notice.

单选属性

English | 简体中文

这是个功能非常单纯的插件：单项——选择——属性（Single Choice Property，简称 SCP，没错，我故意的）

作用如图：可以把某个特定的列表属性限制为只能留一个值。添加新值时，直接覆盖原来的值，不需要你手动先删掉旧值。

虽然我觉得这个功能本身已经挺直观了……简单来说，像 status、priority 这类属性，本来就天然不需要“多个值”（你总不能让一个任务同时是“进行中”和“已取消”，对吧？）。但每次都要先删除旧值再添加新值还是有点麻烦，所以我写了这个插件帮自己自动处理。

一句话概括，这是一个 懒人插件：它不会带来什么全新能力，只是帮你少点一步 :P

原来的操作：
点击，全选，删除，选择新值

⬇️ 现在：
点击，选择新值

省了50%的操作噢！ 😎

等 Obsidian 官方支持“单选”属性之后，这个插件就没有存在的必要了。

顺带一提，属性漂亮的彩色胶囊样式来自 Typify——它也是我制作 SCP 的灵感来源：简洁、优雅，我超推荐！ ❤️

工作方式

默认情况下，插件会监听 status 属性。 你可以在插件设置中添加或移除需要监听的属性名。

当某个被监听的属性变成包含多个值的列表时，插件会只保留最后一个值，并且会（可选）弹出 Notice 提示。
