I’m trying to write a dataview query that includes all files linking to the current one (easy) and also the current file itself (this is where I struggle).
Let me describe you the use-case a bit. I often have multiple meetings for a specific topic and link to the first occurence on all of them.
Now I would like to add a dataview query in this first note where all the meetings are shown. Easy, isn’t it?
TABLE date, summary
FROM [[#this.file.name]]
SORT date asc
This works but it does not show the current (first) meeting. I know, this note is already open but for the sake of it, I would like to see them all.
I know I could append the full filename and path to FROM but this does not work if I rename the note or move it. It is not robust… FROM [[#this.file.name]] OR "path/to/file/and/filename"
Is there no way to access the current note in FROM without specifing it with the full path and name?
I’ll glom onto this topic, I’ve got a different use case, but same question on referencing current file as a source. I’m using this in a a template and want FROM to reference whatever path it ends up being pasted into. I’ve gotten this working with the manually entered path, like this:
LIST file.etags
From "templates/location"
But the ideal would be to generalize the path with the field name “file.path”, but these just give errors or no results from query:
LIST file.etags
From "file.path"
or
LIST file.etags
From [[file.path]]
Is there a way to use the field names as a variable in source like this? Maybe I just don’t have the right syntax for the reference.
