Hello,
I am trying to put together a very minimal project mngt system for my personal use and I am having troubles getting the backlinks[] filter to work. Here is my problem:
- Let’s say I have a tiddler tagged Project and a series of tiddlers tagged Task
- I want a list with all the Tasks belonging to a given Project showing up in said Project page
- I thought I could solve the problem by looking for all the tiddlers tagged Task with backlinks to the Project.
- IOW, I would (automatically) put something like the following in a Project tiddler:
<$list filter=[all[current]backlinks[]tag[Task]]>
<$link/>
</$list>
-
This approach works if I explicitly insert a link to a Project into the body a Task, i.e. if I have a tiddler “someTask”, for instance, whose body contains the text “This task is needed by [[someProject]]”
-
It does NOT work however, if someTask has a field 'project" with value “[[someProject]]” or “someProject”, NOR does it work if I transclude into the body of someTask the content of the field “project”.
What am I doing wrong? I am trying to have the backlink to Project created automatically when a Task is created, instead of having to insert it manually into the body of the Task.
EDIT: I fixed the syntax of the filter in the post above (it was correct in my TW5)
Help greatly appreciated,
Stefano
