In the note Add dialog, allow empty first field

Anki Help

Empty first field currently raises an error: “The first field is empty.” But empty first field is sometimes desired. Suggest to allow empty first field or at least provide an option to allow it.

Also, this seems like it could be an easy fix. If you point me to the right place in the code base, maybe I can fix it myself and send a pull request.

Thanks

The first field is used to decide if your input is a duplicate or not, and is used when updating from a text file import. If your current first field is sometimes blank, perhaps there is another field you could put first instead?
