Auto Move On Property

Auto Move On Property is an Obsidian plugin that moves notes into folders based on YAML frontmatter values.

What it does

• Watches notes in the vault root and any folders you choose
• Checks note properties for matching property/value rules
• Moves matching notes to the folder set in the rule
• Supports single-value properties and YAML list properties

Example

The property name can be any YAML property you use in your own notes.

For example, this rule:

matches a single-line frontmatter value:

---
project-status: active
---

It also matches the same value in a YAML list:

---
project-status:
  - active
  - waiting
---

In either case, the note is moved to Active Projects/.

Settings

• Always watch vault root: include notes saved at the top level of the vault.
• Watched folders: comma-separated list of additional folders to monitor.
• Show move notifications: show a notice when a note is moved.
• Show debug notifications: show troubleshooting notices while rules are checked.

Move Rules

Each rule has three fields:

New rules appear at the top of the list. Use the filter box to narrow long rule lists.
