@timschps would you be able to pass me some details about the used tags and article front matter? You know where to find me if you want to do it privately 😁

I found one small issue where no data was returned, this might have caused it. Would you be able to verify it with the latest beta version: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eliostruyf.vscode-front-matter-beta

In order to test, you'll need to uninstall the other extension (all settings will be remained).

@estruyf investigated with me. The categories entry in frontmatter was "only" a string, where an array was expected. So correcting this, fixed my current issue. @estruyf was going to investigate a way to improve this though...
