Bases: Nested tags support

[WhiteNoise]

file.hasTag() is the solution regarding supporting nested tags in bases.

tags.contains only targets the tags property on the frontmatter as a list, which is what it is.
So I don’t think we should We will not make contains have a special behavior just for tags.

You can open I opened a FR asking to extend List.contains() so that it also searches for substrings within an element of the List. This should address the specific use case highlighted in this thread (search only within the tag property in frontmatter).

Bases: Extend List.contains so it is possible to search for substrings within list items

Right now, list.contains(value: any) performs an exact match between value and each item of the list. In the case of lists of strings, it could be useful if the function would be extend, with an optional additional argument, to match substrings (partial match) within list items. Related FR: The FR below is even more general:

Alternatively, this FR will also enable the same thing:

Base: Implement map, reduce, filter in formulas (lambda functions)

Use case or problem While working with lists and objects in Bases, there is a lack of higher order functions. This will open up possibilities to work with complex dataset inside the frontmatter. Proposed solution Lambda functions as (arg, arg2) => {statement1; statment2; return} Higher order functions as map(() => {}, [...]) map(() => {}, {...}) Related feature requests (optional) MOD-EDIT: removed for not being related to this FR to avoid confusion
