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 stays without quotes.
Also, the space was missing from my query.
/priority: "[1-9]" now works:
- But this feels too much work, right.
Numbers are not supposed to be treated as text, to begin with. The app should give the flexibility to store numbers as numeric values. Or is this a numeric value that is stored in quotes? It’s confusing and not intuitive.
Thanks for bringing this up as I believe many people are wrestling with these issues.
Entering [priority: 1 OR 2 OR 3 OR 4 OR 5] feels too much work as well, however one can save these queries to Bookmarks with a descriptive name.
