Is there ANY way to save a value to note WITHOUT going into edit

Anki Card Design

For example, in a “fill the blanks” model, I typed “Apple”

Is there ANY way to automatically save this text to the note, without manually go to edit?

Thank you in advance!

If you’re using the type-answer feature in your note type, the correct answer should already be in your note. Field Replacements - Anki Manual

Hi Danika, thank you for your reply.
I am trying to save something else which is not currently in note.
For example, there is a 10s audio with a player. If user manually scroll to 3s and start playing the audio, I want this start time to be saved. Next time, this audio should start at 3s by default.

There’s also localStorage as described there.

If you are looking for desktop options, there are addons that allow editing information from the review screen. For very specific requests, such as saving audio timestamps, you’ll likely have to write your own card scripts either way, but an add-on might help in writing the info into database.

The layout and labels are implemented interestingly here.

Generally, it works; the author fixed it, but I haven’t changed it specifically yet. It’s a useful approach, though. I also have some initial ideas for working with sound, for various replays, but I’m not sure it will be implemented.

Here below, someone suggested an editing add-on; I also made a modification from it:

But I’m still in favor of simple solutions. If you need to save positions, you can use “localStorage” for the local device. Or try something by changing “collection.media.”

Thank you all.

LocalStorage worked on both PC and IOS.

Obviously, the only downside is it only affects one device.

I am thinking of 3 ways to sync across devices.

A. Create a dummy note with a special model which can export/write LocalStorage
B. Sync through GitHub API
C. Potentially open a server to sync

Thank you again.
