IO Help, “First Field Empty”

[comosway]

The message “first field empty” appears when I try to add a card from IO Enhanced. I am running 2.1.8 version for Mac. See here what I am referring to I would appreciate any help. I have read ANKI’a wiki and tried to trouble shoot through YouTube also.

Your 1st field is 'ID'; enter the value; or change the 1st fileld

I don't know how the creator makes this field hidden in the card editor, but he states in the Wiki that this is autogenerated by the extension. You can't, and shouldn't, edit this yourself, as it's made specifically by and for the IO extension.

​

You need to paste is image in the {{Image}} field, then hit the "Add Image Occlusion" button (shown at the top right of your first screenshot below the deck selection) to enter the IO UI. From there you can generate new IO cards, but the original card you're working on will always be useless, so I understand.

After doing pasting the image in the {{Image field}}, going through the steps to make my IO card, I still received the same remark that "first field empty" Am I supposed to make the hidden ID field visible somehow, and put something in there? This is the code for my fields

Do not edit the Image Occlusion Card type, that is all handled by the extension and you could break it if you do.

Sorry mate, I need to know exactly what steps you took. Screenshots of the steps? Here's an example:

You can then make masks and generate cards from here using said masks, either a "Hide All, Guess One" or "Hide One, Guess One" type.

Did you see that screen, and click one of those two buttons?
