Canvas properties won't show up properly in bases

when I assign a property (or more) to a canva it won’t show up properly in base. i.e. I have a canva file name Canva1, I assign type:canva, then status:doing, then topic:pkm.
when I set up a base filtered for type:canva, Canva1 is there, but status and topic properties are neither visible nor selectable. same if I filter a bese for status:doing, Canva 1 is there but other properties are not.

what? and how you do that? There are no properties associated to a canvas file.

I had the same issue. When i searched before posting i saw this post.

I believe OP (and me) refers to the “properties” icon in Canvas file, opening the property editor:

But when the canvas file displayed in a base, it shows disabled:

Arn’t those Canvas file “properties”? or its a different concept?

Are you and the OP using the Advanced Canvas community plugin? If so, Bases may not be aware of what it adds.


By default, .canvas files have no properties that you can add.
