[Feature request] Access form fields in dataview queries to allow queries conditional on other form field values #231

Open jtvilm opened 6 months ago

jtvilm commented 6 months ago

My Usecase

I do some simple project/task management in Obsidian.

For projects I create tasks and for tasks I create timeboxes, which are all simple .md files storing data in their frontmatter. Tasks reference their project and timeboxes their task in simple string properties. All .md files are stored in separate folders; there are just these three folders - projects, tasks, and timeboxes - no subfolders.

When I create a timebox using a form I select the associated task using a Dataview query in a field of type Dataview. However, because all tasks are stored in one folder, the query lists tasks that belong to all projects. What I would like to do is to add a another form field in which I select the project, then use that form field value in the original query to filter only for those tasks belonging to that project.

Describe the solution you'd like

Make a variable named form accessible in dv queries for field types Dataview and Multiselect/Dataview. With the form variable I could access other field values via the syntax form.fieldName so that query results could be filtered, mapped, sorted, etc. using those values.

This is similar to the field type Document block, in which I can use the form variable to retrieve form field values via form.fieldName.

This is a very good suggestion, and it is not that hard to add.

This one should be an easy one, so it is a good first issue. I'm open to review a PR for this.
