![]() ![]() So I broke the bigger cards up into several small cards. ![]() ![]() Later, I realized that it’s better to create cards that have only a few clozes. I used to create very big cloze notes (but, when reviewing, hiding parts of it with Javascript) – made from a whole paragraph or 3 shorter paragraphs from Wikipedia, for example. ![]() Yes, that’s true you certainly don’t want to inadvertently lose information. Still, it would a big advancement because (at least in my case) it requires only creating the reference once and then all subsequent changes can be made to one note only, granted that the field contents should be exactly the same. I think you solved the problem with your different approach. Thanks a lot for your reply!! You’ve brought a lot of thoughts to the table that I hadn’t thought of. Maybe it doesn’t need to be shown on all cards that it could be on. I think this is exactly what you would want to achieve by references.Īlso consider the following: If lots of notes have the same extra information, that information’s value will diminish. If you edit the extra information of this note, all its cards will be updated. You could set up a note type that creates multiple cards from one note. It would even add another layer of complication.Īnd what happens if you delete a referenced note for example? It might require an alert that the contents are referenced somewhere and you would have to handle these situations every time such a note is deleted.Ī different approach for redundant flashcards However, it seems to me like adding these references and keeping track of them would require the same amount of effort as copying the contents. The big advantage of references would be that - if they worked as expected - you could edit a single note and all notes that use it as a reference would be updated too. PS: I have made the same suggestion in r/Anki.Īs someone who is currently struggling to keep a lot of notes in order, I agree with you that keeping track of redundant notes isn’t easy. When you copy the password from the entry with the reference, you don’t copy the referencing text, but the referenced password. Here, you can create a reference from one password field to the password field of another entry. Inspiration: Maybe you are familiar with KeePass. Not the string will be displayed on the card, but the content of the referenced field. The function of the string is that it is a reference to a certain field of a certain note. This means to enter a string in a field (esp. My suggestion: I think it would much less cumbersome with a kind of reference. There is Frozen fields, but it is even more limited: It only works when you are creating multiple notes in a row. But this works only when you want to create a totally new note, not when you want to edit two or more existent notes. There’s also copy note contents to new Add window. But this method still requires copying and pasting content every time.This will copy the exact content (with formatting etc.) from one note to one or more other notes.The problem: When you use redundancy, i.e., create multiple notes about the same topic, you often want to have the same content in the extra field, or at least parts of the same content.Īs of now, the best method for this is, as far as I know, a combination of two add-ons: ![]()
