Summary
Bases formulas today only operate on the current note’s frontmatter and file metadata—there’s no way to query or summarize fields from other notes within a formula .
Inspiration from Notion
Notion’s Relation property lets you link entries across databases. Its Rollup then aggregates a linked property—summing task hours, counting subtasks, pulling statuses, and so on—automatically across those related entries .
Use cases
Connect different sets of notes together!
For now it can be done using Dataview.
I know Bases formulas dev is still ongoing but I didn’t see this feature considered, so I thought I’d ask~
