The “new item matching base filters” button does not create links in new notes when links are used in the base filters.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new Base “B”
- Create a new note “N”
- Create the property
prop_txtas text - Create the property
prop_multias multitext - Set the filter to any of the following
- Simple Filter
- “prop_txt Is
[[N]]” - “prop_multi Contains
[[N]]”
- “prop_txt Is
- Advanced Filter
prop_txt == [[N]]prop_txt == link(this)prop_multi.contains([[N]])prop_multi.contains(link(this))
- Simple Filter
- Embed
BinN(![[B.base]]) - Click the “New” button to create a new note that matches B’s filter

Expected result
The newly created note should have a property linking back to N - either prop_txt: "[[N]]" or prop_multi: ["[[N]]"] depending on which filter used.
Actual result
In every case, the property is created as just text and not a link - either prop_txt: "N" or prop_multi: ["N"] depending on which filter used. The “advanced filter” ones appear to suffix .md on the property values, so there is some indication that a link was utilized there.
