I’ve messed up. All i want is to use simple basic card structure for ANKI. Question on front, answer on back - with the question still showing on the front side.
I have accidentally made some changes as the answer wasn’t showing for some cards and now things are messed up.
Another thing, just to make sure of one thing: would you check if there also is Card type number 1 and post a screenshot of its Front and Back templates?
(to open Card 1, click on the bar next to ‘Card type’ and select Card 1)
Just one last thing. As of now, your notetype has 3 card types: Card 1, Card 2 and Card 3. Card 2 and Card 3 are basically just duplicate copies of Card 1. This is why the changes didn’t seem to save (e.g. you modified Card type 2, but then previewed Card type 1).
If you keep things as they are, it will most likely result in further confusion and many more reviews than necessary.
I suggest doing this:
go to the Browser and search: note:Basic-194df
select all the cards
go to the top toolbar and click on the Notes button
click on Change Note Type
select Basic (optional reversed card)
check that all the fields are mapped correctly Front → Front, Back → Back, Reverse → Reverse (instead of Reverse, it might be called Add Reverse)
save
It is a good idea to create a backup before doing this, just in case Backups - Anki Manual
