Question

Dear Community,

I have a question on filter settings when using templates. Here's my setup:

I have 3 databases: Meetings, Organisation and Tasks.

For every meeting, I make a new entry in the meeting database and link the meeting through the relations property to the relevant organisation that I am meeting with.

Inside my meeting template, I have a view of the tasks database for tasks that arise during the meeting and tasks related to the organisation.

What I would love is a way to have the filtering settings in my view of the tasks database depend on the organisation property of the meeting.

Can this be done?

Answer 1

It is possible using a "self reference" filter inside your Notion database template.

1- Create a template in your Meetings database and name it "New Meeting".
2- Inside that template include a linked view of your Tasks database.
3- Create a filter for that tasks linked database Where "Meetings (relation)" contains "New Meeting".
4- Done.

That will generate everything correctly for the new created Meeting, showing only related tasks to the meeting itself.
