"status" field metadata queries no longer work

[d-imal]

What happened?

I have a task metadata field named "status" and some queries that filter for status != "blocked" or status = "blocked". The queries used to work fine. But I just updated the plugin yesterday to 0.5.38 yesterday and the queries stopped working. I haven't updated in a few months, so I'm not sure what version it stopped working. If I change the field name to anything else, the queries work fine. So, if I change the metadata to [foo::blocked] and then query for foo = "blocked", the query works.

Seems like DV might have something special going on with metadata named status?

DQL

You are correct. status is a new metadata field at the task level. It contains the character inside the checkbox. It was implemented as part of #812 I think.

Thanks @AB1908! Looks like a cool feature.
