I have a property “priority”. The value can be a number (e.g. 1 for “top priority”, 2 for “also very important” etc.) I can, of course, then in the view where all priorities are listed on the right side panel click on “priority” and get a list of notes that have a priority through searching for [“p…

Indeed. Well, first of all, one needs to check for the property field, whether it is stored as a number or a text string. If I add the property priority with 1 through the Properties UI, the 1 will be stored as "1". If I go into source mode and modify it to 1, then lint the file with Linter, it sta…

That is interesting, now, it does work indeed. Yes, that is a strange behaviour of the programme. Obsidian hast lost me there with the need to “lint the file with Linter”… properties should make it easier, not more complicated to use… I tried without that, and the result would be that the query wor…

Thank you very much - that is very helpful for me to use!

[image] starlight: the need to “lint the file with Linter” There’s no need to use Linter. It’s just useful to have to sort and manage properties.

But what about the warning triangle? If in source mode I enter, for example, priority: "2", it appears.

I have got it here: [image] when in source mode it is [image] I have just updated Obsidian and needed to re-start it a few times, so far, it is still there. I will observe that.

If the search and Dataview query work, disregard it for now.

They work, thank you, I will just ignore it for now.

That’s at least good to hear.

How to use the or a property "priority"?
