Filter set by source (collection)

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

I want to filter a set to show only objects from a specific collection.

User case :
I have a collection (so, a database).
I want to add some view of this database in a page.
But actually, I can’t have something clean.

  • If I use Collection : I have the same title (collection title) and I cannot change or hide it.
  • If I use set : I cannot filtrer easily to only show objet of my collection.

To build something fine and clean, I need to to filter to show only objects from a specific collection, and without displaying the title (or being able to modify it, which is only possible when using a set).

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

Add a filter on set : Source → choose a Collection (or many, like Notion now)

It can also help with other requests, as the issue of data separation is quite present in the subjects.

REAL WORLD USE CASES

Cleaner creation of dashboards, multiple views of a collection, etc.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

Review set and collection design to simplify development while making the system more flexible. I can start a topic with my thoughts if needed (I don’t think I’ve seen any yet).

LAST WORLD

Thank you for reading and for your work, a bit passionate about Anytype, I often forget to say!

We can now filter by back link what does the job.
We can close my FR especially since I’m the only one who asked for it :sweat_smile:.
(but I don’t know… as Implemented even if it’s a workaround? Or as improbable, since there’s no longer any need)
