I have a number of individual notes for various books I’ve read, with a YAML field for “author.” This works great with Dataview, except when there are multiple authors of a book. I assumed I could just add another YAML line “author: Sample Author” to add the second author, but then Dataview does not return results for either author.
Does anyone know how to change my query so it will return results for either author? Is this possible?
My current search is:
dataview TABLE without ID link(file.link, title) as "Title", author FROM #books Where author = "Sample Author"
Sorry. I just looked through the Dataview documentation and found that my inline data needed double-quote marks rather than brackets. Like this:
Writer:: "John Byrne", "Mike Mignola"It works now and solves an issue I was having. Thank you.
ah yeah, I haven’t used Dataview’s inline data before. Glad you figured it out! :)
