[Bug]: Lists in a Text property column now have brackets inserted around them, which breaks links in the list

What happened?

It looks like version 3.1.0 now adds brackets when a property value is in a list, and it breaks linking when those properties are links to another page. Previously when a column type is "text", it would just take the text by itself and everything in the list of links would work

What platform were you using?

Desktop

Version of the plugin

3.1

Oh I see, we won’t consider the inline arrays with links. Will be fixed with next versions. Thanks for the report!

As a better aproximation

// Is a list
if (/(^\[{1})([^\[]{1}.*[^\]]{1})(\]{1})$/.test(newValue)) {
      // Remove brackets
      newValue = newValue.replaceAll(/(^\[{1})([^\[]{1}.*[^\]]{1})(\]{1})$/, "$2");
     // Another things               
  }

Thanks for the rapid feedback! Really enjoy this plugin, I switched from notion and not having databases was my main hesitation

With the most recent fix, the lists are a little buggy still. If I format my list the way I originally posted, it adds a blank entry in the display.

Example setting in YAML:

aliases:
- alias 1
- alias 2

Example visual display

-
- alias 1
- alias 2
