Move to Property Subfolder
Moves the file into a subfolder whose name is read from a frontmatter property value.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Property | The frontmatter property whose string value is used as the subfolder name |
Example: With Property set to destination, a file containing the following frontmatter is moved into Inbox/books/:
yaml
---
destination: books
---
# My NoteTypical uses:
- Letting note authors self-route files by setting a property during capture
- Deferring the filing decision — write the destination later, then trigger the rule on demand
Gotchas
The property value must be a string. If the property is an array, a number, or a boolean, the action is skipped and the file is not moved.
The file must have frontmatter. If there is no frontmatter block, the action is skipped silently.
The property must exist. If the named property is absent from the frontmatter, the action is skipped silently.
The subfolder is relative to the file's current parent. A value of archive on a file at Inbox/note.md moves it to Inbox/archive/note.md.
