Use filed in filter

[Mohammad]

Consider this code:

<$list filter="[field:note[]]">

<<currentTiddler>><br>

</$list>

If you put in a tiddler in tiddlywiki.com, then it returns all tiddlers. while I expect to return all tiddlers having a filed called note

If you remove [] from note, TW returns an error, if you put something inside [] as input parameter, it works fine and look for note filed containing that input.

Try the "has:fieldname[]" filter operator.  This will select only tiddlers that have "fieldname" defined, even if the field has no value assigned.  If you intend to list only those tiddler that have actual values for a field, you can use the "has[fieldname]" form of the filter, which selects only tiddlers with that field having a **non-blank** value.

From TiddlyWiki.com, field operator tiddler:

If S is empty, field will match both of the following:

• tiddlers that don't contain field F
• tiddlers in which field F exists but has an empty value

So, it returns everything because  note doesn't exist anywhere. What you probably want is the "has" operator:

[has[note]]

Thank you Eric

Thank you Mark,

Yes, I got the point now! I meant the tiddler has the filed, so I have to use the has operator.

Cheers
