Dataview query using property in the current note

What I’m trying to do

I’ve got a “Person” template (using Templater) that among other things captures what LOB (Line of Business) the person is in.
Example:

contact_type: poc
contact_info: Short description of how I know them
contact_role: Senior Manager, Software Development
contact_lob: Dev Cloud Security & Identity OCI
contact_location: Seattle WA, US
contact_timezone: PDT

I’d like to have a bit of Dataview in the same Person template that will do a Dataview query for other people with the same contact_lob.

Other contacts in Dev Cloud Security & Identity OCI

TABLE contact_type, contact_info, contact_role, contact_timezone, date_last_spoken  
WHERE type = "person"
WHERE contact_lob = "Dev Cloud Security & Identity OCI"
SORT contact_type ASC, file.name ASC

The example above has the WHERE clause hard-coded to that particular Person’s LOB. I’d like to pull the value from the current Person note’s contact_lob property.

Things I have tried

I’ve tried this:

TABLE contact_type, contact_info, contact_role, contact_timezone, date_last_spoken  
WHERE type = "person"
WHERE contact_lob = "`this.contact_lob`"
SORT contact_type ASC, file.name ASC

which returns no data. And if I remove the enclosing double-quotes like this:
WHERE contact_lob = this.contact_lob
I get an error: “Expected one of the following: ‘(’, ‘null’, boolean, date, duration, file link, list (‘[1, 2, 3]’), negated field, number, object (‘{ a: 1, b: 2 }’), string, variable” error.

Hi all, please disregard. I was just making it too complicated by adding double-quotes where it was not needed.

This worked:

## Other contacts in `= this.contact_lob`
```dataview
TABLE contact_type, contact_info, contact_role, contact_timezone, date_last_spoken  
WHERE type = "person"
WHERE contact_lob = this.contact_lob
SORT contact_type ASC, file.name ASC

No disregarding necessary, thanks for coming back with the solution clearly stated for the next person that wants to do this (ie. Me )
