Bases: List Properties Containing Links Do Not Render Links

Bug reports
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a list property on a file.
  2. Add a link to the list property.
  3. Create a base.
  4. Create a property on that base that references the list property.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes, I created a completely empty vault and followed the above steps to reproduce using only two files and no change to the default plugins, no community plugins, and no themes.

Expected result

I expect to see the links in the property rendered as links.

Actual result

It renders the raw string, including square brackets.

I think you created a formula property (a derived property). You need to add the base property.
Formula properties aren’t parsed as Markdown.

Ah, you are correct, thank you! Would still be nice to be able to show links for formulas, but this solves my use case!
