The Update frontmatter modified date plugin is a game-changer for Obsidian users who want to keep their notes organized and up-to-date. This plugin automatically updates the modified property in your frontmatter/YAML when you edit a note, ensuring that your notes always reflect the latest changes. With its customizable options, you can specify which YAML field name to use, date format, and even exclude certain folders from being updated.

One of the unique features of this plugin is its ability to track edits independently of the filesystem modified time. This means that the frontmatter will only update when you actively work on a file within Obsidian, eliminating any unnecessary updates. The plugin also includes options to append dates to a history array and exclude specific files or folders from being updated.

Overall, the Update frontmatter modified date plugin is a powerful tool for keeping your notes tidy and up-to-date, with its customizable settings and intelligent update mechanism making it a must-have for any Obsidian user.
