Protected Fields and Card Suspension Issue

Hi there! Thanks for sharing those details about your protected fields. The issue you’re experiencing with being unable to suspend cards and the browser freezing could indeed be related to your protected fields configuration.

Why Protected Fields Might Be Causing Issues

I notice that you have both text and extra fields protected, which is unusual. According to AnkiHub’s documentation, these fields are typically not protected by default:

We do not protect:

  1. Text
  2. Extra
  3. Sketchy
  4. Pixorize

Having these core fields protected might be causing conflicts when you try to suspend cards from the browser, especially since you mentioned that you can still suspend cards while in study mode.

Suggested Solutions

  1. Modify Your Protected Fields Settings
    Try changing your protected fields configuration on the AnkiHub website:

    • Go to your deck’s main page on the AnkiHub website
    • Click the 3 dots in the top right
    • Select “Manage protected data”
    • Unprotect the text and extra fields (remove the checkmarks)
    • Save your changes and sync

  2. Check for Special Protection Tags
    Your cards might have special protection tags like AnkiHub_Protect::All that are preventing normal operations. You can check this by searching for “AnkiHub_Protect” in the browser (when it’s working).

  3. Try a Focused Database Check
    After changing your protected fields settings, run Tools > Check Database again to ensure everything is properly updated.

Why This Might Work

The browser freezing suggests that there might be conflicts between what you’re trying to do (suspend a card) and what the AnkiHub add-on is programmed to allow with protected fields. By adjusting your protection settings to match the recommended configuration, you may resolve these conflicts.

Let me know if modifying your protected fields settings helps resolve the issue! If not, we can explore other potential solutions.
