Version (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows]
  • Browser: Edge
  • Web Clipper version: 0.11.9
  • Obsidian version: 1.9.12

Describe the bug
Parentheses are being added to the properties in my note, as an example:
"date-created": 2025-09-02
"date-modified":
"date-read":
summary:
"title-display":

rather than

date-created:
date-modified:
summary:
date-read:
title-display:

I'm not super tech savvy, but it appears the parentheses are is causing an interference with the Linter plugin. As best as I can tell, the parentheses are new, but I could very well be mistaken.
