Dataview table not populating anymore

What I’m trying to do

I found a lecture template that integrates a dynamic button that generates lecture notes and populates a table of the lecture notes with auto-filled information that had previously populated based on the entered information. New notes I create no longer populate with entered information and tables generated before, stopped showing data that was populated previously, but don’t after editing. I am pretty new to obsidian and have no experience with dataview. Any help on this is appreciated!

I just want to find out how to get the table populating again.

Things I have tried

I have updated Obsidian and all plugins, restarted Obsidian, disabled all community plugins, and re-enabled them. I also followed the debugging steps and set up the templates in the sandbox with the same result. The following screenshots show what I am concerned about.


This is the code for what is being done:

const {createButton} = app.plugins.plugins["buttons"]

let h = dv.current().file.folder.toString(); 
h = h+"/Lectures"

var j = dv.pages()
	.where(k => k.file.folder == h) 
	.sort(k => k.lecture, 'asc').lecture.last(); 

if (j) { 
	j=j+1; 
} else { 
	j=1 
} 
const r = ('0' + j.toString()).slice(-2); 
const fname = h+"/"+dv.current().file.name+".L"+r 

dv.paragraph(createButton({ 
	app, 
	el: this.container, 
	args: { 
		name: "Next lecture: "+j, 
		type: "note("+fname+", split) template", 
		action: "lecture_notes_template", 
		color: "yellow", 
	} 
})) 
TABLE WITHOUT ID "[["+file.name+"|Lecture "+lecture+"]]" as lecture, date, topics
sort lecture 
where course = this.file.link and (lecture or lecture = 0) 

I have also tried reinstalling Obsidian, removing the field and adding a common field in Dataview. Nothing is populating in the third column no matter what I try. I also use Obsidian Sync and checked on my other PC and the same issue is present.

I have now tested adding additional column headings and it seems that it doesn’t matter what the heading is the frontmatter is not being “read” by dataview. I am thinking at this point that this might be a bug report rather than a request for help.
