Suggestion: "Cloze Field" For Things of Unknown Quanities

Anki Suggestions

Normal notes are great when you know, for sure, the number of things you need.
For example, 1 phase (to and from) 1 audio clip

caliente ↔ audio pronunciation of “caliente”

Clozes are great when the number of things you need is highly variable.

For example

Field Data
Phrase vestragon
Participle vestreta
Type Consonant-final
Defs
  • to say something (acc) to someone (dative)
  • to tell someone (dative) something (acc)
  • to speak

(Phrase ↔ Participle), (Phrase → Type), and (Participle → Type) are all great.

But Defs are tricky, because there can be any number of them.
This is where I like clozes because,

  1. Only 1 field in the note instead of adding 10 “def” fields for that 1 card that needs all 10
  2. I can break up the information however I want.
    Ex. testing the for the case instead of the translation

to say something […] to someone else (dative)

But, cloze type notes don’t only allow you to make cloze type cards. Which means, you need a 2nd note. But:

  • Now you can’t reference a field from the original if there is any info you would like to add to the def cards. (media could be referenced but text couldn’t, as far as I’m aware)
  • I don’t know if this is true but it doesn’t seem efficient to save that information twice in 2 different notes, storage-wise.

If you could designate a field as a “cloze field” would you have a use for it?

  • Idk
  • Yes
  • Maybe
  • No

I’m not sure what the purpose of a poll is here. Your suggestion is your suggestion.

I don’t think I necessarily understand what you’re asking for, but I’m going to give you a couple things to think about.

  1. You can use a Cloze note type to “fake” a Q/A card, by just cloze-ing the answer.
  1. You can have multiple cloze-filtered-fields on a note type.
