Hi Mohamed, >>> I am curious why does <$list filter="[tag<currentTiddler>]"> works fine , and <$list filter="[childof<currentTiddler>]"> doesnt ?
Because tag[] is a defined operator in TiddlyWiki, and childof[] isn't. TiddlyWiki treats any unrecognised filter operator as a suffix to the field[] operator. So since childof[] is not an existing operator in TiddlyWiki, it is interpreted as a shorthand for field:childof[]. tag[] is an already existing filter operator, so is not interpreted in this way. To answer your original question, you probably want the contains[] operator: [contains:childof<currentTiddler>] On Monday, 21 June 2021 at 14:06:42 UTC+1 [email protected] wrote: > Thanks Tones, > > I am curious why does <$list filter="[tag<currentTiddler>]"> works fine > , and <$list filter="[childof<currentTiddler>]"> doesnt ? > > they are both fields , so why does one filter work and the other does not. > > On Monday, June 21, 2021 at 4:17:30 AM UTC+2 TW Tones wrote: > >> Mohamed, >> >> You are testing if the whole field value is equal to currentTiddler. >> >> Perhaps try the Search operator and name the childof field.
