Description

     Frozen Fields allows you to conveniently sticky and unsticky a field right from the note editor: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT (2021-03-09): Anki 2.1.41 was just released, and while it comes with some cool changes, it does break a lot of add-ons, Frozen Fields included. I am working on a fix as we speak. If your workflow depends on Frozen Fields or any of the other affected add-ons, please hold off on upgrading and/or install Anki 2.1.40 for now. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OVERVIEW Anki supports sticky fields. A sticky field is a field whose value is not deleted when you switch to a different note. This can be very useful if you are making many notes in which a field either has the same value or changes very little. Unfortunaly, marking a field as sticky is quite complex and breaks your workflow. Frozen Fields allows you to conveniently mark a field as sticky (freeze) or not sticky (unfreeze) right from the note editor. It’s much more convenient than the default way. To freeze/unfreeze a field, just click the adjacent snowflake or use the corresponding hotkey (F9 by default). A blue snowflake means that the field is frozen and a grey snowflake means that the field is unfrozen. HOTKEYS CHANGELOG Version 2.1.1 – 2020-02-21 You can view all past releases here.

Helpful for those who use old versions of anki!
on 1670956701
Updated to new version of anki so no longer need. Was amazing for the last few years. Thank you!
on 1670499071
I'm sorry but this add-on is no longer needed becuase newer versions of Anki has this built in.
Comment from author
Right, but users on older Anki versions still exist, and they need a way to install Frozen Fields which this add-on provides. So it's hard for me to understand the downvote here. It's also kind of sad if every successful add-on that's re-implemented by Anki ends up with downvotes at the end of its life, just because it was successful enough to be swallowed up by Anki. I think the right thing to do here is to just ignore these listings and move on: If you're on a new Anki version – great, no need to install the add-on! If you're on an older version, the listing is here for you to download the add-on.
on 1662015399
ok
on 1653910393
In new versions of Anki, you don't need that. Because it already has a button that does the same.

In older versions, extremely useful.
on 1653059273
in new version of Anki don't need that. Because it's have a button for work، like that.

Doesn't work with Cloze. Do not get this if you use Cloze often.
on 1640527721
Oh thank youu 🙌
on 1640248803
Here is how to do it natively in Anki 2.1.45.
You can find a pin like icon at the right side of the field when adding cards. Turn that on and that is how you can toggle it ON or OFF.

Here is the link to a screenshot : https://ibb.co/1bN32W3

Add-on is not working on newer versions of Anki. BUT, new versions of Anki have a built-in sticky field (pin above the text field) - which works exactly the same. Lovely to see that.

Comment from author
Hi, thanks for the report. Working on a fix, but please give me some time. It's been less than a day since 2.1.41 was released, and a lot of add-ons by a lot of authors are affected.

Hi! Great addon, it feels like it's built-in by now. I have a suggestion to make it (or another addon) able to clear all fields currently with text.

Thanks for this.

Worked wonders on Anki 2.0 yet the Anki 2.1 version doesn't seem to work at all. I'm on ver. 2.1.22 and when active, it completely messes up the card browser, so the info about each card isn't shown... If there were a yellow option for review, I would had used that, although I reckon Glutanimate is one of the most prolific addon makers for Anki, so this bug is probaby going to be addressed in the not so far future.
Comment from author
Hi there! Really sorry to hear about the issues you're seeing with the add-on. Would you mind dropping me a quick mail at ankiglutanimate@gmail.com, so that we can troubleshoot this together? I haven't been able to reproduce the problem over her on 2.1.22, so I think we'll have to dive a bit deeper into debugging this. Thanks!
on 1596379814
Amazing!
on 1595685192
It's great but it doesn't work on card browser.
Comment from author
Hi there! Appreciate the feedback. The add-on actually used to have the toggles visible in the card browser. However, from my own use and from talking to other users, it seemed like they didn't really serve a purpose and mostly just took up space: You can't add cards via the browser's editor pane, so the add-on can't really serve it's main purpose which is preserving fields over to the next card. Still, I'd be happy to try and cover your use case. What would you see as your primary use of the add-on when in the card browser and how do you think the add-on could help achieve that?

(Replying via AnkiWeb's review system can be janky, so feel free to also send me an email at ankiglutanimate@gmail.com if you like.)
on 1595534525
Perfect- thank you!

on 1594025579
The feature that I've always needed!
on 1593496899
Nice, it could be great if one could freeze only a part of the field and not the entire field.
on 1593386266
GREAT
on 1593208795
Extremely helpful addon! I'm making decks of cards that include grammar points with notes for each point in a field. Before, I was copy-pasting the same thing over and over as I added new examples, but now I can just freeze the field for the basic grammar point meaning and add in any extra info I need for that specific card after that. A huge timesaver!
on 1592941680
Works perfectly fine and very helpful! Thanks!
on 1591832105
amazing- much needed!
on 1591324101
Absolutely great! However, I would like it if there was a way to see the "extra" afterwards. Uhh... I wasn't so clear on that, so let me give an example. Let's say that my cloze card is 2+2, and the answer is 4. My "extra" would be 1+1 = 2. Would there be a way to think about it for a while, and then decide to look at the extra, and then answer the question? In this case, the "extra" section would be used as a hint or a way to relearn the topic you forgot.
on 1591239058
Works, but later

Thanks! Very Useful!

Comment from author
Hi there! Sorry to hear that Frozen Fields is no longer appearing for you. Would you mind sending me an email at ankiglutanimate@gmail.com or creating a new discussion on the add-on support forums here? https://anki.tenderapp.com/discussions/add-ons#new-discussion-form (no account needed).
The add-on is still working fine on all of my test systems, so I'd like to go through some troubleshooting steps with you to find out why it isn't working for you and help you get it to run (most likely there is another add-on interfering with things, but we'll have to see).
on 1590902755
useful
on 1590846437
WTF is wrong with these people downvoting the add-on bcz of a bug and never check back to see if it's gotten fixed and change downvote to upvote.

would these idiots have upvoted the add-on if it'd worked fine for them?? seriously, dude, don't just downvote and go. if you're not gonna check for a fix, don't freaking just downvote, it's stupid.

Great add-on btw, works as it's supposed to work
Comment from author
Thanks for the support! It's unfortunate for sure that this keeps happening, but I've just had to accept the sad truth that there will always be people who abuse reviews in that way. At least AnkiWeb seems to be a friendlier place than your usual app store. The tales I've heard from Android devs about the reviews they have to deal with are simply horrendous...
on 1590385275
I could use some material to create my questions easily

Very good for adding multiple cards.

Fantastic but please add support for Multi-column note editor

Encourage you to provide some CSS styling suggestions for the Frozen Fields along with images, if you have these.
on 1577459601
Works well.

When I add sentence cards I have a field for the source. Since I usually add many sentences from the same source one after another, this add-on is very useful for me.
on 1577355878
Awesome! Makes making similar cards much easier! Usually I was lazy and made Clozed Cards that ended up with way to much info on them, this is much better!
on 1577183530
Great job

1 issue: it is not supported in edit note or browser

keep up the good wordk
tnx again

Hella good addon!

Great addon. Unfortunately it does not work with the Multi-column addon (https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/3491767031), so one has to choose one or the other.

on 1573188166
Great as is but you should add Freeze to "Tag" section too. Many time when creating cards, we create the same types (same chapter, same topic, date, etc) of card that the same tags can apply to.
on 1571863060
Must have!
on 1571243404
Essential! One of my favorites!
on 1570983634
Ever since I installed this add-on, I cannot perform copy-paste across the fields. If the text is from one field and will be copied to another field, nothing happens. No copying or pasting.
Comment from author
Hi. Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the add-on. For what it's worth, this should not happen as Frozen Fields does not touch the copy paste functionality in any way (and I can't reproduce the issue here). We are either looking at an incredibly weird add-on bug, or something else outside the add-on's control. I'd like to help you troubleshoot the issue, but in order to do so I'll need more information on what exactly happened, the operating system you're using, and more. If you could shoot me an email at ankiglutanimate@gmail.com that would be great (as requested in the help section above). Otherwise there's not much I can do to help. Thanks!

Found it very handy for speeding up note making.
on 1568575712
Great. Although personally I would find it more useful to be able to freeze *tags* than fields.
Comment from author
Thanks for the feedback! By freeze, do you mean the ability disable tags from being copied over to the next note? Because by default Anki should retain the tags of the last note.
on 1567976950
Very simple and a great time saver, I have no critisims at all of this addon.
This addon is definately a must use for all anki users
on 1567475175
Easily one of the best addons for making cards, but I noticed that this does not work when using a "automatic basic to cloze" add on such as GODMODE. Is there any way to fix that?

Breaks Note ID add-on.
Comment from author
I've been aware of this particular incompatibility for a few months now, but it's not something that's easily addressable: https://github.com/glutanimate/frozen-fields/issues/9
Due to the way Anki's add-on system works, add-ons are bound to be incompatible with each other sometimes. It's simply not feasible to test each add-on against its 500 other counterparts, nor is it always possible to fix potential conflicts (e.g. in case of add-ons like FF and Note ID that both target the same function).

Constantly bugging in 2.1
Comment from author
Hi. Just following up to see if you had a chance to give Frozen Fields a try on the latest Anki 2.1 release, yet? As mentioned below, whatever issues you were experiencing previously should be fixed now. If not, I'd appreciate it if you shot me an email at ankiglutanimate@gmai.com, so that I can see what's wrong. It's just a bit discouraging to have this downvote stuck to the add-on, even though whatever issue caused it has likely been long fixed :(

----

I just pushed a new release. It should fix some of the weirdness introduced in recent Anki 2.1 releases. Please update your Anki version to 2.1.12 and then give the latest version Frozen Fields another try.
on 1555875941
thanks
on 1555228865
A simple yet very powerful feature that should be incorporated into mainstream Anki!

There is a small glitch on anki 2.1 where the field boxes are tiny until you start typing in them but it doesn't affect the functionality of this indispensible addon. 5/5

This add-on is so useful if you have a field with the same value in multiple cards. Thank you.
on 1544543733
OMG Thank you so much, this is extremely helpful. This really should be included natively in Anki.

Works as advertised and it's more useful than you might suspect

Amazingly helpful and works just as it should.

Would love to see support for frozen/unfrozen tags added!

Useful for editing cards in Anki Editor, and again if you use an external deck maker software, it's kind of redundant, but still nice to have!

It does what it says: It'll keep the contents of your chosen fields unchanged from add to add. That is, after you add a note, the contents of the fields you've chosen to be frozen will remain untouched and ready to be used in the next add.

Excellent time-saver

This add-on is boost to my efficiency, allowing you to freeze fields between new notes. Works well. Agree with another reviewer that the snowflake symbol could be a little smaller; but that's just nit-picking. Excellent add-on.

Probably one of the most important add-ons in my daily use

Few add-ons have become as indispensable to my Anki use as this one.

Works great!

Works perfectly as described. Would be nice if the snowflake icon can be just a tiny bit smaller in size but then I'm just nitpicking. Thanks for the plugin!
