Dataview Inline fields not updating in Hover Editor

Open blackpeasy opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Hello! I frequently use inline dataview fields to display front matter and other things inline in the note.

The inline fields work fine when opening the note normally, but when opening the note in Hover Editor, the fields do not update.

Inline fields in this note:

# `=this.Title`
By `=link(this.Author)` | About: `=this.About`

Does it work if the hover editor is in preview mode?

It works when opening the note in preview mode yes, but not in edit mode (I always open my hover-editor in edit mode).

I think you'd probably be better off bringing this up with the other plugin author first. In my own testing, I found that if you move the cursor to the fields, they are rendered once you move out of them. The dataview authors would likely have a better idea of what is or isn't happening there, and even if they need something in Hover Editor to change, they'd be able to tell us more specifically what that is.

Okay, I will ask around and return once I know more.
