Hello! I was wondering if I could request an update tag by field, especially for the âTextâ field.
I have several notes with additional clozes that Iâve added âAnkiHub_Protect::Textâ to.
Having an update tag by field will allow me to check only updates to cards that Iâve added âAnkiHub_Protect::Textâ to so that I can also personally update the info.
Thank you so much!
Would love a follow up on this. Would really make updating âTextâ fields so much more easier.
Are you asking for a special tag with the opposite function to AnkiHub_Protect? Shouldnât simply removing the tag from the notes you want to update work? You can remove tags in bulk from the browser if needed.
I think what they mean is
If I have a field protected by AnkiHub protect, but that field receives an update from AnkiHub, then a notification saying âthis field has updates, want to overwrite themâ?
@keithalexius let us know if this is what you meant
I meant so that any updates that make changes to the âTextâ field be tagged as âUpdated_Textâ (example tag, can be any other tag).
I have a lot of notes with additional clozes which Iâd like to keep which is why I also tagged them with âAnkiHub_Protect::Textâ. This is so that updates donât automatically make changes to the Text field on the notes that Iâve intentionally modified.
Having an âUpdated_Textâ tag would help a ton in updating my personalized Anking deck as I donât really care for any other updates to other fields (e.g. Extra, First Aid, Sketchy, etc.) besides the Text field, since itâs the Text field that really contains the actual information I memorize. The problem with this is that some notes that Iâve protected may have outdated information on the Text field, hence why I regularly check for updated cards in the browser.
Currently, how I check for updates is that I go to browser then look for all cards tagged with the AnkiHub update tag and also AnkiHub_Protect::Text tag. The problem with this is that not all updates make changes to the Text field, which makes it very tedious as I have to manually check all updated cards that often donât even touch the Text field. Usually, I have to check around 10 notes per day but this sometimes can go over 100+ depending on how many updates there are.
Having an âUpdated_Textâ tag would solve this problem. I can just put both âUpdated_Textâ and âAnkiHub_Protect::Textâ tags in the browser, and then see if there are any updates to cards that Iâve intentionally protected.

Essentially the same function, but yeah haha. I think tagging might be easier though.
Donât want to be that dude, but can I get an update on this request?
Itâs been really difficult to update all my cards with an edited âtextâ field.
Thank you!
I donât think we have plans to work on this yet. Itâs not a popular feature request.
