Currently a note is tagged as leech when it reaches the leech threshold. This is as absurd as suspending all cards of the same note. I suggest using a special flag (like the star shaped mark feature) for leech cards as using the normal flag would mean you can’t put a flag on that card on your own. …

Counterpoint – If you need to update a card to stop it from being a leech – where do you go? You have to edit it at the note-level. So whatever you change will also be changed on any sibling cards. What is the point in continuing to study those siblings for now with bad/wrong/misleading/confusing …

[image] Danika_Dakika: So whatever you change will also be changed on any sibling cards. Not if you have cards like I do. I’ll show you an example. [Screenshot_2024-05-27-04-25-22-47_a9eef3a2a561b80d5c76daebd0f9a14c] Notice here I put similar info together. Being bad at one doesn’t mean I’…

[image] sorata: If you know which card is a leech you already know which note is a leech. But if you don’t know which card is a leech, then you don’t know which note is a leech. In the situation I described, there would be no indication that some (sibling) card in another deck had a flag (lee…

[image] Danika_Dakika: In the situation I described, there would be no indication that some (sibling) card in another deck had a flag (leech or any other sort). I don’t understand why do you want to know that. If you’re editing the cards then you don’t really need a tag on note. Do you want t…

[image] sorata: Do you want to take any specific action when you see the sibling card? Yes – as I said above – not study it until I’ve taken care of the problem.

How will you know it’s note has a leech tag? It’s tag wouldn’t show up in review screen right?

Actually I later realised the marked tag tags the note but the card is highlighted too. Something like that would solve all of our problems and wouldn’t require a compromise. Only issue that would still remain is how are you going to search for the highlighted marked cards.

[image] sorata: To reiterate my point, if every card of a note need not be suspended why they need to be tagged as leech then? It seems to me that the current state of affairs is the result of a compromise when cards with different information are created from a note and when cards with the s…
