After Bases formula column created, Tags property suddenly expects to be a checkbox

Help

I just started using Bases. I created a table showing all notes tagged as “location”, and a formula property column with the formula file.hasTag("PlacesIveBeen") which displays an unclickable checkbox based on whether the note has that tag.

I don’t know if it’s related, but suddenly all my notes in the whole vault are showing a warning icon next to the tags property, with the popup text “Type mismatch, expected Checkbox”. When I click on the icon it displays a dialog:

Display as checkbox?
Your multitext data is not compatible. It will be adapted to fit the new format.
[Update] [Cancel]

I cancelled this because I don’t want to change anything for now.

I removed the formula column, and restarted Obsidian. When I restarted, the problem went away. It appears that the formula column may have confused things?

I don’t understand and you didn’t follow the BR template.
Can you provide a screen recording of this happening in the sandbox vault or in your vault with restricted mode on and restart obsidian?

Thanks

Hi,
Sorry I didn’t use the right template - the post started as a Help post, and I followed that template. Then when it seemed to resolve, I changed it to a Bug.
I’ll see if I can recreate the issue, then provide a recording.
