Specfic Anking note type specific field reveal not working

For specific cards I only want a a specific revealed and the rest to now shown (for example only the pixorize media). However even after changing it from the browse menu it is still not working and continues to use the general auto reveal settings that I have set for all cards (sketchy + pixorize)

The AnKing note type on AnkiHub doesn’t support the auto reveal feature yet. If you install the AnKing notetypes add-on, you can update your note type from AnKing > AnKing Note Types > Update notetypes.

is there any update on this? i am trying to do it and in this reddit post it says that we can do it for individual not types. for me if i choose specific cards to just reveal the pixorize field for example it still ends up showing he pixorize AND sketchy field (which is what i set in the general settings of the note type). any way to fix this?


The AnkiHub add-on updates the AnKing note types to the latest versions, but if you have the notetypes add-on you have to update the notetypes using it.

@fcbramis_k Did you make sure you’re using the latest version by clicking the “Update notetypes” button?

yes anytime i get a notification that there are updates available for anking note types i make sure to update and save

Can you export a card showing the issue and share it?

i exported the note i took a ss of. it should be only showing pixorize according to the settings but ends up showing up both sketchy and pixorze fields (which is what i have set in my general settings)

So the issue is that the note type always respect the general auto reveal settings. The special tags can only be used to reveal additional ones. There’s currently no way to override the setting of a certain field to not auto reveal only in some notes.

ok i see so if i set the general note type to just reveal pixorize and then the “special tags” for just sketchy + pixorize that would work?

That will work if you want only the Pixorize field to be revealed in all notes.
