Can't query Database Folder Plugin for properties

[Cosmic]

I am trying to use a database query to find all notes with the “Dream” name in the “Note Type” Property. This works perfectly fine in regular Dataview with the following query:

TABLE 
FROM ""
WHERE contains(note-type,"Dream")

However, when I use the Dataview query as a source for my database from the Database Folder Plugin, using the FROM line and WHERE line, the plugin says there is the following error:

YAMLParseError: Implict keys need to be no a single line at line 23, column 1: source_form_result: FROM “” WHERE contains(note-type,“Dream)”

Does anybody know how to get this plugin working for properties. It’s otherwise a great plugin. Any help would be appreciated .

Hi, @Cosmic!

I think you can filter it with WHERE note-type = "Dream" as a conclusion.

The following has been tested in my environment, skip it if you don’t need it.

Folder

- testview
- DemoFolder/
  - testfile (note-type: test)
  - testfile2 (note-type: Dream)

View

In testview.md, I created two views to compare

TABLE
	note-type
FROM "DemoFolder".

TABLE
	note-type FROM "DemoFolder"
FROM "DemoFolder"
WHERE note-type = "Dream"

It will look like this
