It seems like I can make a set of either all objects of a type OR all objects that contain a particular relation. That’s it. I can add a filter to the view on the set page, however that doesn’t actually filter the set (as seen if you add another view, or embed the set elsewhere.). Given that I can…

[image] crystaln: I can’t even make a set that is “All humans where skill contains musician” Off course you can do this! Create a Tag-Relation “skill” in the Library. Integrate this Relation in the Template for your Human Objects. In your Set first filter for all Humans. Then, in the grid…

[image] crystaln: I can add a filter to the view on the set page, however that doesn’t actually filter the set (as seen if you add another view, or embed the set elsewhere.). As a workaround, you can use a “default” view with all the criteria you want for your set then duplicate it and modfiy…

This is talking about views on a Set, which are not re-usable elsewhere and not really a set. The whole concept to a Set in Anytype is B.S., which is strange given how they insist on maintain a distinction between Sets and Collections, without a proper implementation of a Set.

A Set would be an object “Musicians” which is a filtered view of Humans where Skill contains Musician, which can be used anywhere else without knowledge of the source of the data. A Set is not creating a Set of Humans and then a view of that Set where Skill contains Musician. This is completely use…

Sorry for being so critical. I was just very surprised by this. It took me quite a long time to figure out that what the docs go through so much effort to define as a Set is not actually implemented in a way that is functional beyond creating a Set of an object type. People will THINK they understa…

I hope this will help you [image] Merge collections and sets Hi there, great discussion. Our current vision (subject to change): Search will be more powerful and basically will incorporate all abilities of current sets (filter/sorts/etc.) Sets will be basically saved search requests, maybe we …

[image] crystaln: A Set is not creating a Set of Humans and then a view of that Set where Skill contains Musician. This is completely useless when it comes to introducing data science terminology like “Set”. It’s Notion, but less useful. I do agree with your criticism, and hopefully this can …

Glad to hear Sets and Collections will likely be merged. My pedanticism isn’t without cause - I can’t really create an effective subset of an object type. I can create a set of the object type, add a filter to show the subset, and remove the All view. Now if I inline the set somewhere else, the su…

[image] crystaln: I can create a set of the object type, add a filter to show the subset, and remove the All view. Now if I inline the set somewhere else, the subset will be there. However from there, if I add a view to the original set or modify the filter for the subset, it isn’t mirrored in …

In most cases I’m very happy that the views are NOT synced! An Option would off course be the best solution.

Sets aren't actually functional sets?
