I want to have both types of tags combined into a single variable when queried from another page (like Map of Content).
In the example, by default, #c is the implicit fieldfile.tags, However I am trying to append #aand #b through frontmatter.
I doubt if you can use a field name with .; try rename it to file-tags
Tags created in yaml frontmatter aren’t true tags.
If you want to join the two (tags + pseudo-tags) you can join file.tags with file-tags. But to render the pseudo-tags with usual tags visual you need to write them as a string with # symbol: file-tags: ["#a", "#b"]
Now, you can try this:
```dataview
LIST file.tags + ", " + file-tags
FROM [[filename]]
