What I’m trying to do
In my graph view, I define a group using the tag #x. This colors notes tagged with #x red, as desired.
However, there are other notes which are not intended to be tagged as #x, but which do contain dataview queries operating FROM #x. The graph view grouping interprets these notes as being tagged as #x and colors them red. This is not the behavior I would like the graph view to have.
The solution would seem to be to tell the graph view group definition to exclude instances of #x that occur inside a dataview query as belonging to the group defined by notes tagged with #x. However, I’m not sure how to do that.
Things I have tried
I tried specifying that the group should only be defined by notes that have the dataview field “tags” defined as #x, i.e. tags:: #x. However that didn’t work. It seems like the grouping algorithm is just looking for any instance of #x in the note regardless of context.
