I think it would need a security feature too, not all metadata needs that. But when they do it could be very powerful. For instance I am using a ProjectPriority YAML and sorting my project by that. If I can set that in the table I can set them as I have the big picture in front of me all the time.
Thank you @SkepticMystic : I am being dim though (sorry). I installed MrJackphilâs plugin, and left all the dafaults as is; I then copied what you gave above into a frontmatter fence in a new doc; then I ran Text {expander}.
The result was a search in the (ctrl+Shft+F) search window for the desired files. Is that the expected result? I was myself expecting the ![[$filename]] argument to generate the links in the doc⊠I realise I may be asking for the moon on a stick here. Any help much appreciated
It is supposed to generate links in the doc, just like you want⊠I tested it out myself and I see it also isnât working for me, even in simple examples . It was recently updated, so perhaps something significant changed. This seems like something to mention to MrJackphil
@mdee makes good use of the Dataview plugin to set up a lightweight project and task management system based on PARA. Itâs well done. See Project and Task Management workflow.
It seems there is no like function? I want to list all the restaurants I have notes on but I have not gathered them with a tag (only occasionally need a restaurant). And I know I concequently added the word restaurant in the file.name.
General region: #region/subregion/sub-subregion/âŠ
Specific place: #place/settlement/loggers-camp or #place/town/phandalin/stonehill-inn
That feels chatty, but it comes pretty naturally. What that means I then have is:
A) a full index grouped by type:
## Locations
```dataview
list from "compendium"
where type = "location"
sort file.name asc
```
## NPCs
```dataview
list from "compendium"
where type = "npc"
sort file.name asc
```
## Factions
```dataview
list from "compendium"
where type = "faction"
sort file.name asc
```
B) Cross references can then be displayed to help hop between things without creating links/backlinks (if you want to reserve those for stronger meaning, e.g.)
A specific location can do the following to find related NPCs and log entries:
## NPCs
```dataview
list from #place/landmark/circle-of-thunder
where type = "npc"
```
## History
```dataview
list from #place/landmark/circle-of-thunder and "pc-logs"
```
A Faction adds an additional lookup for related locations:
## Locations
```dataview
list from #group/faction/bregan-daerthe
where type = "location"
```
Tag structure matters for me, e.g. because it is #region/subregion/sub-subregion ⊠I can get a broader index of anything in the region by specifying â#region/subregionâ in the from (as the listed results contain any included sub tags).
All my projects have a field in the frontmatter âcompletedDateâ, which I leave blank in until they are complete. Is there a way to query for projects that are not yet completed? i.e. for an empty field? Or is it bad form to leave an empty YAML field?
