Describe the bug
With a new data file configuration there is no error message when I add a new item, but the data file is also not created if it does not exists. The config in .frontmatter/config/data/files/kurzschnitte.json is as follows:

{
  "$schema": "https://frontmatter.codes/config/data.files.schema.json",
	"id": "kurzschnitte",
	"title": "Kurzschnitte",
	"file": "[[workspace]]/data/dnb/kollitsch/kurzschnitte.json",
	"fileType": "json",
	"labelField": "title",
	"singleEntry": false,
	"schema": {
		"title": "Kurzschnitte",
		"type": "object",
		"required": [
			"title",
			"link",
			"slug"
		],
		"properties": {
			"title": {
				"type": "string",
				"title": "Title"
			},
			"link": {
				"type": "string",
				"title": "Link"
			},
			"description": {
				"type": "string",
				"multiline": true,
				"title": "Description"
			},
			"labels": {
				"type": "array",
				"items": {
					"type": "string"
				}
			},
			"slug": {
				"type": "string",
				"title": "Kurzschnitt-Post"
			},
		}
	}
}

Adding a new entry on the Dashboard > Data screen -

  1. If the file [[workspace]]/data/dnb/kollitsch/kurzschnitte.json does not exist then Frontmatter shows a success message but does not add the item in the items column, and also no data file in the configured location

  2. If I create a file in [[workspace]]/data/dnb/kollitsch/kurzschnitte.json with an empty JSON content ({}) then it works as expected.

I would expect Frontmatter to have enough rights to create the file (file rights on the folder are checked and belong to the user opening VSCode) or at least fail or convey the failing properly.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  • Browser: Chrome latest
