I love this plugin very much, it works very fine for me.

But is there a way to track file with certain frontmatter?

For example, I have several file containing students' exam papers, each with a frontmatter like this:

---
exam-date: 2021-08-24
exam-student: [[Students/A]]
exam-score: 96
---

(Actually I used link to track both their studentID and their names in Dataview, because I have another folder in which I store all students' information individually in files' frotmatters)

So now I would like to track a certain student's score through the days(let's say student A), but when I tried to specify the frontmatter exam-score in searchTarget, the value will be the sum of everyone's score in that exam.

Is there is a way to track only file with frontmatter exam-student: [[Students/A]]?

Maybe I can try to use regular expression and switch searchType to text?

However in every file exam-student may be before or after exam-score, which is very disturbing...

(I want a more elegant solution...)

I will have a try anyway.

Yeah I tried but it seems that there are some problems with the [[]] format link...

Acually, if possible, a filter like Dataview's WHERE will be best, but I fear it would be too hard to implement···

Interesting!! Here is my solution. In this solution, exam-score must be placed at the next line below student's name. You may want to use a template to help keep the format of a note.

I agree, it would be great if we have a filter. Will consider adding a parameter filter.

Thanks a lot for the solution! I will certainly use it.

It will be so great if we can filter files through frontmatter, or better if not limited to frontmatter!

(To be honest, I haven't been replied so fast ever since I used Github... Thanks really a lot for that!)

+1 for adding a parameter filter.
