It allows for structured data collection with multiple input types, including text, date, and multiple-choice fields. The plugin integrates seamlessly with existing workflows by offering a user-friendly interface for form creation and template management. It supports popular plugins like Templater and QuickAdd, making it easier to capture information and automate note creation efficiently. Users can also define form behaviors, pre-fill default values, and insert collected data directly into their notes.

The Data Entry plugin for Obsidian allows users to transform frontmatter metadata into a user-friendly form for easy data entry.
