This add-on is an updated version of the original Automatic Basic To Cloze add-on (link) made by trganki. Check out their other add-ons: https://ankiweb.net/shared/byauthor/2105427255
If you make a cloze note with a basic note type, this addon will automatically change the note type for you.
Anki warned you that the cloze won’t work until you change the note type. You forgot, but you’re lucky. The basic note type magically changed to Cloze.

Amazing Add-on!!! This allows me to combine keyboard maestro and Anki Connect to copy sentences online and import directly into my decks. My workflow is that I find a sentence online I want to cloze delete and use this and then later add my own cloze to the sentences. but since I’m adding a plain sentence I couldn’t automate with macros because Anki would throw an error message.

straight up doesn’t work. Still need to manually change the note type. Even when I go into the browser and add a cloze from the browser.

Great addon, but I’ve been having this issue where the addon impairs the proper use of the “Browse” function.
Been disabling it and enabling it in oder to have it both ways, but it’d be great if the author could fix it.
Thanks for the great work and effort!

EDIT (12/08/21): This has been fixed! Strongly recommend this addon!
For the most part, this addon has been working amazingly well but I have been running into this one bug preventing me from adding Clozes into cards. When I have an existing card that I want to change into a Cloze or add to an existing Cloze, I highlight a part of it and enter Ctrl + Shift + C like I would normally do. As soon as I enter that shortcut, I get the following error:
Anki 2.1.35 (84dcaa86) Python 3.8.0 Qt 5.14

Hey ! Thanks for the update on the add-on !
I’ve got a quick message on the left side of my Anki when it just opens saying :
” [Automatic Basic to Cloze] Cannot find target ‘cloze’ model ”
What does it mean and how could I fix the issue ?
Thank you in advance !
EDIT 1 :
Thanks for answering ! Issue solved thanks to you !
I changed PC and used to have a french Anki wich had “Basique” and “Texte à Trou” for “Basic” and “Cloze”.
I just added their english spelled counterparts in thi
