Does anyone know how I to craft a query to retrieve all uncompleted tasks that contain a link to the current file in the text of the task OR any tasks contained within a sub-list item containing the same link.
Here’s an example of what my notes usually contain:
In the example above I’m trying to create a DV query inside “My Test File.md” that returns all the tasks above. Ideally it would only including list items that contain a task e.g. “one last task” and not “some more text with no task” but I’d grateful just to get this working
I’ve tried: task where file.path = this.file.path and !completed
1.How to distinguish list items or task items from the file.lists data?
2.How to filter by a list item which contains a link?
3.How to filter by a task item which contains a link?

dataview_v0.4.23 :
For DataviewJS users, the task and list representation has changed: file.tasks (and the new file.lists) contain
every single task (including subtasks) in the file, instead of only the root elements. You can return to previous
behavior by filtering out tasks with a non-null parent - i.e., file.tasks.where(task => !task.parent). dv.taskList
will intelligently deal with properly nesting and de-duplicating tasks, so just filter to the tasks you want to render and
the API will do the rest.

WOW, thank you @justdoitcc!! This is probably one of the most comprehensive and helpful answers I have come across (thank you for taking the time!!)
Most of what you’re doing is above my head so I may be missing a lot but I can’t seem to get this to return any results.
I tried making the two edits you mentioned:
Changing the the FROM to “” or even a subfolder
Removing the “!” from WHERE file.name = this.file.name
Are there any other changes I should be making? I also downloaded the example files and query which work great so my guess is that it has something to do with the 2nd change?
Lastly, i’ve noticed that Obsidian slows down quite noticeably when I add this query e.g. it locks up for a several seconds, especially when using FROM "" (my vault has ~400 files in it). Did you experience any performance issues?
FROM "100_Project/02_dataview/Q12_Tasks/Q12_test_data" AND #Project

//=>“100_Project/02_dataview/Q12_Tasks/Q12_test_data/05/dic_20110501.md”
