Describe the Issue
When I click a button to set a toggle / set of toggles to "off", they stop being considered toggles, instead being considered a text property set to "empty" or "off".
^ Before pressing button
^ After pressing button; setting Null
^ After pressing button; setting Off
This completely breaks the toggle, especially if there are nested values. It becomes unusable, and doesn't save after re-opening the note.
EDIT: Additional example of issue.
After checking an older note, I found the following info in properties.
^ Spell slot tracker used with Toggles. Note how it has a warning.
^ The displayed warning.
After clicking "update", the Property is altered:
While not entirely the same, this leads me to think if maybe Meta Bind doesn't recognize nested properties properly.
Steps to Reproduce
- Paste code segments A or B into obsidian file
Code Segment A
INPUT[toggle:frontmatter^Test2.A]
label: "Test 2 Button"
style: primary
hidden: false
id: "TAKE-LR"
actions:
- type: updateMetadata
bindTarget: Test2
evaluate: false
value: null
Code Segment B
INPUT[toggle:frontmatter^Test2.A]
label: "Test 2 Button"
style: primary
hidden: false
id: "TAKE-LR"
actions:
- type: updateMetadata
bindTarget: Test2
evaluate: false
value: off
- Open file properties
- Click the created button
- Observe change in Properties field
(this sample segment was created to serve as an example for the issue; this is the same syntax / setup i'd used for other toggles).
Expected Behavior
Normally, the Checkbox property type is undefined, but retains its data in the following way:
- Property + sub-properties are recorded as True or False, or other value options.
- When switching the manually, the property type doesn't change, only the value.

This seems like a misunderstanding to me. By using
INPUT[toggle:frontmatter^Test2.A]you are binding to a subobjectTest2. You can see this if you look at the frontmatter in source mode (or with a plaintext editor). The "issue" you are seing is that Obsidians properties UI does not support nested properties, see: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/properties-bases-support-multi-level-yaml-mapping-of-mappings-nested-attributes-nested-properties/63826
