Hi, thanks for the introduction of note updates. It was my pain point number 1 with the extension for a long time. So thank you and the contributors!
Changes
anki.md.updateCards
, add remark thatanki.md.insertNewCardID
should be enabled, too.Background
When migrating to updating notes however, I ran into
Error: ['cannot create note because it is a duplicate']
.Using the docs to set
updateCards
totrue
did not solve the issue. Only checking the gh issues and reading about theinsertNewCardID
flag in #122 I noticed what's wrong.So apparently
anki.md.updateCards
requiresanki.md.insertNewCardID
.If this is a wrong interpretation of what went wrong, feel free to close this PR.
Note
This might be a migration issue. I installed the extension a long time ago. I am unaware of whether
anki.md.insertNewCardID
is set to true by defaults for new installs or not.
