Daily Notes and a Food Log (via Dataview) - Need help

[dddave]

I’m toying with a food log using Daily files and Dataview, however I’m running into an issue.

My daily notes have a ‘Log’ section that is separated via h4s. Example:

## Log

#### 11:11 PM - Phone call from John
He wanted this.

#### 12:12 PM - Bill stopped by
He wanted that.

I would like to add items like:

#### 12:12 PM - [[Food Log]]
foodlog:: apple
meal:: snack

There would be one for every time I eat something.

Then on [[Food Log]] I would have a dataview codeblock to pull in everything I ate. From there I could filter by day or month or whatever.

DV:

```dataview
table meal as Meal, foodlog as "Food Ate"
from ""
where contains(foodlog, "") 
SORT file.ctime asc
```

The problem I’m running into is that if I have multiple h4s with different foodlog key/values, it doesn’t work. I can only enter one per day.

Is there a work around for this?

Thanks

Are you using the latest version of DataView? It now supports multiple inline fields to return as a list. For example, I have multiple, #Watched:: This YouTube video. in my daily notes, and on days with multiple entries, it shows them all as a list. Older versions only returned the last one.

Also I’d change this

@dddave

where contains(foodlog, "")

where foodlog

@Rishi

where foodlog

This fixed it.

Thank you!
