Define global filters to scope the note collection, add formulas that turn raw properties into signals, then compose one or more views such as table or cards. Validate that every formula reference and summary name is defined before pasting the YAML into a .base file.

Date subtraction in Bases returns a millisecond difference, so divide by 86400000 before using day-level number functions. Wrap optional date properties in if() guards before doing date math to avoid errors on notes missing the property.

Yes, contextual bases use the this keyword, which refers to the base file in the main pane, the containing note when embedded, or the active file in the sidebar. Combine it with file.hasLink(this.file) to list notes linking to the active page.

The official Map view requires Obsidian 1.10 and the Maps plugin, and notes must have location properties. Check the installed Obsidian version before relying on it, and keep a table view as a fallback for editing malformed locations.

Common causes include using display names instead of real property names, referencing formula.name that is not defined under formulas, and unquoted YAML strings. Quote formulas as YAML strings, preferring single quotes around formulas containing double-quoted text.
