Description

On start-up, the Tasks plugin now automatically adds all known properties and their types to the vault's types.json file.

This means that the File Properties offer auto-completion when adding properties to a file, and know whether they are checkbox or text values.

Thanks to @SkepticMystic for the original code in the Breadcrumbs plugin that gave me the information on how to do this.

Motivation and Context

Make the Query File Defaults facility easier to use.

How has this been tested?

• Exploratory testing
• And adding unit tests for the underlying storage of type information.
