Attributes and Tags

[thw26]

If I have a bunch of tags on older notes I'm considering importing, is there an efficient way to copy these all into a Trilium note's attributes?

I have arrays from various programs; some use commas to separate their tags, some use a marker like an @ sign or a # sign. An example would be notes from the program jrnl.sh, which reads a note for @ signs (or another marker) and interprets/parses those as tags. Another example would be YAML frontmatter from a variety of programs which does something like:

tags: tag1, tag2, tag3

or

tags: [tag1, tag2, tag3]

Hi, probably the best way would be to create a conversion script which would convert your old note's attributes/tags/labels into trilium's attributes (labels). Trilium import format is ZIPped hierarchy with the notes and accompanying metadata JSON file which contains attributes (among other things). There isn't documentation for this format but it's quite self-explanatory. Example:

You can also check the demo document which is an example of export.
