I'm being frustrated by this simple task: I want to move the marked vertex, but it's supposed to only move on its surface. Reason being, I want to subdivide the surface into a specific shape. ...Tried for hours, searched online for hours, just couldn't find it out. I assume its more simple than I think it is, but I just can't get it to work. Can you help me?

enter image description here

Thanks in advance!

Change your transform orientation from Global to Normal then grab the vertex with G and restrict it from the local normal Z-axis by holding Shift and pressing Z

Norm

    $\begingroup$ No problem. Don't forget to switch your transform orientation back to global afterwards or at some point, you'll wonder what the heck is happening later on. $\endgroup$

The vertex is part of the overall plane? Select both faces. "Create orientation" operation (ctrl alt space for me.) Select the vertex and translate it constrained to XY (g shift-z move mouse confirm for me.)
