What happened?

Indentation guides (or relationship lines) don't show up. They are turned on and show up in editing and reading view when there are bullets / more tasks under a task, and rarely show up in dataview queries too, but they are erratic and not present most of the time.

This screenshot is from the Obsidian sandbox vault, I only added one sub list item on the left and the query on the top left. I first mentioned this in the fold indent issue.

I'm afraid I can't repro this:

I checked again with a fresh install and I can repro still. However, I noticed it's fine in reading view, and lines are only missing in editing view.

Edit view? I don't think you can see dataviews in edit view. It is likely not an issue with Dataview in that case.

Editing view includes source view and live preview, both editable. You can see dataviews in live preview. (I might be mistaken about the terminology, but I think this is clear enough.)

So you mean to say the lines don't show up in Live Preview?

Yes. Sorry for the confusion, as live preview is the only editing view where dataviews show up, I thought it was obvious. Obsidian also says "Current view: editing" in live preview.

I see. I don't have the chops to fix this sadly.

@NomarCub Can you please change the title to something like "Indent lines dont show up in Live Preview"? This does not only occur for tasks but any indents. For example

```dataview
list  rows.file.link
from "somefolder"
group by type
sort file.name ASC
```

@AB1908 The same issue also occured in the Admonitions plugin (although I dont know if it was the same root cause). And they were able to fix it just fine: https://github.com/javalent/admonitions/issues/312

This bug has been around for more than a year now. Highly appreciated if this got fixed.
