The Modal forms plugin enhances data entry in Obsidian by enabling users to create and manage customizable forms that can be triggered from various sources, such as templates or automation plugins. 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 Forms plugin enables users to create, publish, and collect responses from forms directly within Obsidian. By linking a designated folder in the vault, users can design and manage forms through a web interface, ensuring seamless synchronization of responses. Once published, others can complete the forms, and their submissions will be automatically stored as notes in the vault. This integration streamlines data collection, making it useful for surveys, structured note-taking, and collaborative feedback gathering. The plugin supports question structuring, real-time syncing, and an organized system for viewing submissions.
