How do I query checked checkbox properties?

[paoloap]

where checkbox = true

doesn’t work

I’m very confused

You should post your actual code example. Surround it with 3 backticks like this, so it renders as code:

```
Your code here
```

There might be other ways, TASK WHERE completed and TASK WHERE !completed are what I know. !completed means unchecked.

```dataview
TASK
WHERE !completed
```

But maybe you’re trying to do something different. And why you should post your actual example, and what you’re trying to do.

Properties: Support searching for Boolean/Checkbox state like [completed:true]

Add support in the query engine for searching notes based on Checkbox properties (Boolean) state (true/false). Example [completed:true] or [completed:false] Right now (Obsidian V1.4.13), only text (string) and list (of strings) are supported. Related FR:

The use-case is so simple that I thought code was not necessary

So I’m talking about querying the checkbox property something like:

list
from ""
where suggested = true

it’s working now… but only for some notes.

this is very strange to me.

Can someone help me understand what’s going on?

thanks, but I’m thinking about obsidian properties, not in-line fields
