What I’m trying to do

I am trying to a simple query using Dataview where the query file that contain a link to the current file in another file, to show up in the query for the file. This is the query I currently have.

Things I have tried


Table

From #Area

WHERE file.inlinks

AND !contains(file.etags, "#Template")

AND !contains(file.etags, "#Default" )

SORT [file.name](http://file.name/) ASC

Additional Context

This the what chatgpt suggest to fix it, nothing showing up. Just need some help.

FROM #Area

WHERE contains(file.inlinks, this.file.path)

AND !contains(file.etags, “#Template”)

AND !contains(file.etags, “#Default”)

SORT file.name ASC

I also have Templater, Metabind button installed. and I believe their might be a conflict their where in order to create a file using a template, I have a button that uses Metabind Templater feature, I think if I switch to the command feature of the button it might work. I just need a little help.

Not sure I’m exactly understandingnwhat you’re trying to do, but try FROM [[]] ? That will include only files that link to the current file, and you can filter down with WHERE clauses from there.
