Exporting dataviews FROM TAGS to markdown

[fima]

Greetings,

this is a “reboot” of this other closed discussion, because I had the possibility to review/test it only today.

Use case or problem

Right now, I am using Obsidian v1.4.13 on Ubuntu. I (and I guess many others) would really like to:

1. Create a new note, from a template whose frontmatter includes an empty “wanted_tags” field
2. type in that field any combination of tags, e.g. “linux, debian”
3. call a templater that reads wanted_tags, and outputs in the note a plain markdown list of all the notes with any one of those tags in their frontmatter, and their aliases

I know how to do (1) and I already have, thanks to this forum, this templater that does exactly what I need if I hardcode one constant tag in the templater itself:

<%*
const dv = this.app.plugins.plugins["dataview"].api;
const query = 'LIST aliases FROM #obsidian WHERE aliases SORT file.mtime DESC';
const result = await dv.queryMarkdown(query);

if ( result.successful ) {
 tR += result.value
} else {
  tR += "~~~~\n" + result.error + "\n~~~~"
}
%>

so, what I miss, and really need help with, is what to write in the templater above, instead of “FROM all the notes tagged with #obsidian” to mean “FROM all the notes tagged with ANY of the values listed in wanted_tags”

In the original discussion @holroy kindly provided this code, but if I use it as is, nothing happens, not even a warning. And if try to “merge” it in the code above, like this:

<%*
const dv = this.app.plugins.plugins["dataview"].api;
const query = 'LIST aliases FROM []] 
FLATTEN all(map(choice(typeof(this.wanted_tags) = "string",
        list(this.wanted_tags),
        this.wanted_tags),
        (m) => econtains(file.etags, m))) as allFlag
WHERE aliases SORT file.mtime DESC';
const result = await dv.queryMarkdown(query);

if ( result.successful ) {
 tR += result.value
} else {
  tR += "~~~~\n" + result.error + "\n~~~~"
}
%>

I get the error shown in the screenshot. How can the templater I have be extended to accept “dynamic” tags, or combinations of them, from the frontmatter?

THANKS!
