dataview backlink query for MOC - doesn't work in cross reference notes

[carcaru]

Hi,

I'll try to explain the problem. To build MOC (Map of Content) Notes in obsidian.

Let's say that I have a note called "MOC Topic A". I put this query in the MOC note:

TABLE summary, tags from [[]] and !outgoing([[]])
SORT date

Every time in a note, let's say "Child of MOC A", I put a backward link to [[MOC Topic A]], the YAML frontmatter fields summary and tags are listed as a record in the "MOC Topic A" file.
In this way I get a list of connected note to a MOC just by adding a backlink in new created notes that are connected to the MOC.

PROBLEM:

• everything looks to work only if the backlink is not reciprocal: if I put the same query in two notes and each note backlink the other, each query doesn't work anymore.
• it would be very useful to have the query working also in case of bidirectional backlink.

EXAMPLE:
These two files do not enable the dataview query to work. To make a query work you have to delete a backlink in one of the two note so that the query in the remaining file works.

NOTE A

summary: "this is note A"

• backlink to note B: [[NOTE B]]

TABLE summary, tags from [[]] and !outgoing([[]])
SORT date

NOTE B

summary: "this is note B"

• backlink to note A: [[NOTE A]]

TABLE summary, tags from [[]] and !outgoing([[]])
SORT date

I'm not very skilled at this topic and I would appreciate some help in solving this issue or finding a workaround.

Don't know if you ever figured it out but hopefully it can help someone else

TABLE file.cday, file.tags 
FROM [[]] and #meeting 
SORT file.cday ASC

TABLE line: the filename (automatically included), file.cday - day it was created, and file.tags - the tags in the file (for more see )
FROM line: [[]] find files (e.g. Child of MOC A) with backlinks to this file (e.g. MOC Topic A), #meeting is just an added filter (get only the childs that have the tag #meeting)
SORT line: ascendingly sort by the file.cday
