<h2>Breaking change in Traefik 3.6.4</h2>
<p>Traefik 3.6.4 introduced a <a href="https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/migrate/v3/#encoded-characters-in-request-path">breaking change</a> regarding
how percent-encoded characters are handled in URLs. More specifically some
URLs used by Trilium (such as <code spellcheck="false">search/%23workspace%20%23!template</code>)
URLs used by Trilium (such as <code>search/%23workspace%20%23!template</code>)
are automatically rejected by Traefik, resulting in HTTP 400 errors.</p>
<p>To solve this, the Traefik <a href="https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/getting-started/configuration-overview/#the-install-configuration"><strong>static</strong> configuration</a> must
be modified in order to allow those characters:</p><pre><code class="language-text-x-yaml">entryPoints:

## Entity events
Other events are bound to some entity, these are defined as [relations](../../Advanced%20Usage/Attributes.md) - meaning that script is triggered only if note has this script attached to it through relations (or it can inherit it).
| Relation | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `runOnNoteCreation` | executes when note is created on backend. Use this relation if you want to run the script for all notes created under a specific subtree. In that case, create it on the subtree root note and make it inheritable. A new note created within the subtree (any depth) will trigger the script. |
| `runOnChildNoteCreation` | executes when new note is created under the note where this relation is defined |
| `runOnNoteTitleChange` | executes when note title is changed (includes note creation as well) |
| `runOnNoteContentChange` | executes when note content is changed (includes note creation as well). |
| `runOnNoteChange` | executes when note is changed (includes note creation as well). Does not include content changes |
| `runOnNoteDeletion` | executes when note is being deleted |
| `runOnBranchCreation` | executes when a branch is created. Branch is a link between parent note and child note and is created e.g. when cloning or moving note. |
| `runOnBranchChange` | executes when a branch is updated. (since v0.62) |
| `runOnBranchDeletion` | executes when a branch is deleted. Branch is a link between parent note and child note and is deleted e.g. when moving note (old branch/link is deleted). |
| `runOnAttributeCreation` | executes when new attribute is created for the note which defines this relation |
| `runOnAttributeChange` | executes when the attribute is changed of a note which defines this relation. This is triggered also when the attribute is deleted |
| Relation | Trigger condition | Origin entity (see below) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `runOnNoteCreation` | executes when note is created on backend. Use this relation if you want to run the script for all notes created under a specific subtree. In that case, create it on the subtree root note and make it inheritable. A new note created within the subtree (any depth) will trigger the script. | The `BNote` that got created. |
| `runOnChildNoteCreation` | executes when new note is created under the note where this relation is defined | The `BNote` of the child that got created. |
| `runOnNoteTitleChange` | executes when note title is changed (includes note creation as well) | The `BNote` of the note whose title got changed. |
| `runOnNoteContentChange` | executes when note content is changed (includes note creation as well). | The `BNote` of the note whose content got changed. |
| `runOnNoteChange` | executes when note is changed (includes note creation as well). Does not include content changes | The `BNote` of the note that got changed. |
| `runOnNoteDeletion` | executes when note is being deleted | The `BNote` of the note that got (soft) deleted. |
| `runOnBranchCreation` | executes when a branch is created. Branch is a link between parent note and child note and is created e.g. when cloning or moving note. | The `BBranch` that got created. |
| `runOnBranchChange` | executes when a branch is updated. (since v0.62) | The `BBranch` that got changed. |
| `runOnBranchDeletion` | executes when a branch is deleted. Branch is a link between parent note and child note and is deleted e.g. when moving note (old branch/link is deleted). | The `BBranch` that got (soft) deleted. |
| `runOnAttributeCreation` | executes when new attribute is created for the note which defines this relation | The `BAttribute` that got created. |
| `runOnAttributeChange` | executes when the attribute is changed of a note which defines this relation. This is triggered also when the attribute is deleted | The `BAttribute` that got changed. |
## Origin entity
When a script is run by an event such as the ones described above, `api.originEntity` will get populated with the note, branch or attribute that triggered the change.
For example, here's a script with `~runOnAttributeChange` which automatically changes the color of a note based on the value of the `mycategory` label:
```javascript
const attr = api.originEntity;
if (attr.name !== "mycategory") return;
const note = api.getNote(attr.noteId);
if (attr.value === "Health") {
note.setLabel("color", "green");
} else {
note.removeLabel("color");
}
```
