Things I have tried

What I’m trying to do

Hi there!

  1. I am still quite inexperienced with YAML & Dataview, but already use a simple header:

I have seen several times now that the update time of the note can also be displayed, as “date update”, for example.
But I can’t find the code that I have to enter there, so that the update time is really displayed. What do I have to enter there?
With Dataview i can sort the notes with “file.mtime”, right?

  1. I currently use tags for the status of the note that I prefix with “~”. I do this so that these tags are at the top of the tag list.
    However, I unfortunately noticed that I can’t list these tags in Dataview. If I read this correctly, Dataview can’t do anything with this character. Is that right? How could I do it differently?

  2. If I want to change the tags all I have to do it in each note individually or can I send this change to all notes?

Thanks a lot!

I use a plugin for this instead. The thing is modified file time doesn’t always correlate with actual edits.

i also have no idea to update the date in yaml filed.
but i use template plugin to implement the feature. it will show date in view-mode.

date updated: <%+ tp.file.last_modified_date("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss") %>

if you want to query the note, you can use file.mday in dataview script.

Many thanks to both of you!
The addon works exactly as intended.
And for my other points (2 & 3) I have found a similar solution, another Addon called “Tag Wrangler”.
