Hi, @Zauther .

That needs to be investigated on the plugin side first.

@SiriusXT ?

@Zauther I just tested it on version 0.96 and didn’t encounter any issues creating a note. You may want to check whether there's a mistake in how you added the widget, or try re-importing the widget from:
https://github.com/SiriusXT/trilium-drawio/blob/main/trilium-drawio-0.5.zip
(When importing, make sure the widget's disable property is not enabled.)

Additionally, you can install drawio-desktop on your computer and use Trilium’s Open Note Custom feature to edit Draw.io notes with the desktop app, without relying on the plugin.

Hi @Zauther! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the Trilium team.

In Trilium v0.96.0, creating new drawio notes with the trilium-drawio extension no longer works because the app now enforces strict, core-level registration for note types and templates. Extensions that dynamically add new note types (like trilium-drawio) are not supported unless their note types are explicitly registered in the core codebase. This is why existing drawio notes still work (they were created before the stricter checks), but new ones can't be created unless the extension is updated to match these requirements. There’s currently no plugin or runtime extension mechanism for adding new note types in v0.96.0—support for drawio would require core integration or official support in TriliumNext itself. More details on these changes can be found in the developer documentation and note type checklist.

If you need drawio support, you’ll need to use a fork or variant that includes drawio in the core, or wait for/participate in efforts to add it to TriliumNext’s core.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
