Able to edit inline format to account for space before 2 colons?

[miscelly]

I can't find this anywhere but it doesn't mean there's no way to do it, so I thought I'd ask here. I have a few hundred files that I want to use this plugin with. My inline values all have this format:

Field :: Value

I always add a space between the colons just for better readability. I can see the data just fine in the database table, but if I edit a value using the plugin, the original doesn't change and I end up with this added to the file:

Field:: Value

In the database table I'll see both values in the format of "firstvalue, secondvalue" within the one cell.

Is there any way I can prevent that from happening other than modifying a few hundred files? Thanks!

hi @miscelly , I am afraid the plugin just allow the format of key:: value for editing. could accept the wrap of () and []

We can work on the regex expression to accept space (just 1 ) between key and dots

I am already trying to support the edition of those cases, but this regex does not work.
On regex101 looks fine and I can not see the problem by now (still working on it)

No worries, I can change the format in the files. It's probably easier for me to change the format than it is for a code change to be made. Less risky anyway. Thanks for the quick response.

anyway, to expand the possibilities I will add this request to the roadmap 😊
