AnKing note types error

🙋 Support

I turned off TTS in the Note Types add-on a few days ago, and I’ve been trying to turn it back on, but I get this error every time I try to save any new settings.

Found 4 results for ‘tags:official AnKing Note Types Easy Customization TTS Text field not found order:latest_topic max_posts:20 status:open’

The error means Anki can’t find a field called Text in the note type AnKingDermPath (Dermki / AnKingMed) that the AnKing Note Types add-on expects to exist. When you try to save settings (like TTS), the add‑on updates all related note types, and it crashes as soon as it hits one that’s missing a required field.

Here’s how to fix / troubleshoot it:

  1. Check that the field exists on that note type

    1. In Anki, go to Tools → Manage Note Types.
    2. Select AnKingDermPath (Dermki / AnKingMed) → click Fields….
    3. Look for a field literally named Text (exact spelling & capitalization).
      • If it’s missing, click Add and create a field called Text.
      • If you see a similar field (e.g. Text (something) or Text_old), that suggests it may have been renamed earlier.

    After adding a Text field, try opening AnKing Note Types Easy Customization again and saving your settings.

  2. If you renamed the field earlier

    If you remember renaming Text to something else:

    • Rename it back to Text in Fields…, then try saving your AnKing Note Types settings again.
    • If you want a different naming scheme, it’s usually better to keep the original core fields the same and add extra fields instead of renaming them, because the add‑on and some card templates rely on specific field names.

  3. If you no longer use that note type

    If AnKingDermPath (Dermki / AnKingMed) is a leftover note type you don’t actually use:

    1. In Browse, search for:
      note:"AnKingDermPath (Dermki / AnKingMed)"
    2. If it shows zero notes, you can safely delete the note type:
      Tools → Manage Note Types → select the note type → Delete.
    3. Then re-open the AnKing Note Types add-on and try again.

  4. General add-on troubleshooting

    • If it still errors after the above:
      • Start Anki with Shift held down to temporarily disable all add-ons.
      • Then enable only AnKing Note Types Easy Customization and AnkiHub and test again.
      • This helps rule out conflicts, though your current traceback strongly points to a missing field rather than another add-on.

  5. If none of that works

    Post back (here in this topic) with:

    • A screenshot of the Fields… window for AnKingDermPath (Dermki / AnKingMed).
    • Whether that note type is linked to an AnkiHub deck and, if so, which deck.

That will make it much easier to give you more specific, AnkiHub‑compatible instructions (e.g. whether you should also update fields via the AnkiHub deck or only locally).

Hi,

It looks like your Anki is not up to date. Please try the following steps to update both Anki and the add-on:

Update Anki
Please ensure you are on the latest version of Anki. You can download it here: https://apps.ankiweb.net/. After downloading, simply run the downloaded file to update your application.

Update your add-ons:

  1. On your Anki main screen, go to Tools > Add-ons > Check for Updates.
  2. After the update is complete, please restart Anki.

On your Anki main screen, navigate to AnKing > AnKing Note Types.

In the window that appears, first click the option to reset the notetype, and then click to check for updates.
Be sure to save your changes.
