Bases: List properties have 2 templates that break creating new files

Once you’ve done the above, delete everything above this line.

Steps to reproduce

I created a base to act as a template for new files, I set the only filter for it to this:

When I click on “new” to create a new note according to these filter options, it gets created but won’t appear on the base, the base is looking for notes with the following template:

---
type:
  - Test
---

But it actually creates files with the following template:

---
type: Test
---

The first one appears normally on the base, the 2nd one gets created by using “New” button on the base but doesn’t appear in the base.

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

Expected result

Both what the base CREATES and what the base QUERIES FOR to be the same? Because both CREATION and QUERYING are following the same filter rules?

Actual result

Both are different, it creates a different template compared to what it looks for.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Custom theme and snippets: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme and disabling your snippets. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community theme and snippets.
Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.


Additional information

I tried on a vanilla vault with no plugins or themes or snippets and it’s reproducible.

I believe this issue is related: Blank properties are treated as "Doesn't contain any of: " in bases

This is fixed in v1.10.1. No ETAs.
