New clozes are not being protected

šŸ› Bug
1

Iā€™m using AnkiHubā€™s decks that update daily. Iā€™ve noticed over the past several months that whenever I update an AnKing card with a new cloze, if that card happens to get updated, the new cloze I made gets overwritten. Because Iā€™ve noticed this happening, each time I make a new cloze, I ensure that I do the following: Right-click on a card in ā€œBrowseā€ ā†’ Click AnkiHub: Protect Fields (I have the AnkiHub add-on installed) ā†’ Select Text.

However, this doesnā€™t seem to do anything to protect new clozes. It does protect new text though, as far Iā€™m aware. Is there some explanation for this in the codebase?

So your edited text stays but the new cards get deleted?

Thatā€™s right

Can you post an example screenshot with your edited text?

I already ran ā€œempty cardsā€, but to give an example ā€“ letā€™s use anking ID 4277

Original text: Features of severe aortic stenosis include a(n) {{c1::late}}-peaking systolic murmur and a(n) {{c2::soft}} second heart sound (S2)
My changes in green: Features of {{c3::severe aortic stenosis}} include a(n) {{c1::late}}-peaking systolic murmur and a(n) {{c2::soft}} second heart sound (S2). Random text.
Outcome: a third anki card will appear, but then if this card gets updated, the c3 cloze will be removed resulting in an empty card, but ā€œRandom text.ā€ will remain.

I hope this helps.

Hmm, thatā€™s weird. AnkiHub has no way of partially overwriting a field like this, if I understand the problem correctly.
