[FR] Relation property improvements

[mobsenpai]

Feature Request Overview

Key Features to Implement

1. Filtering of Relation Properties
   Enable users to filter relation properties for better data management and organization.

2. Date Filtering
   Currently, there is no option to filter dates. Adding this feature would enhance usability.

3. Template Functionality
   Introduce a template feature that allows the inclusion of relation properties. When a new page is created using the template, the relation should automatically update to reference the newly created page instead of the template itself.

   Example Context:

   • Consider two databases: 'Area' and 'Resource'.
   • If I create an item named 'Health' in the 'Area' database and link it to a grid of Resource filtered by (Area is Health), the template named 'AreaTemplate' should adjust the filter in newly created pages to reflect the name of the new page instead of the template name.

   

Community Appreciation

I genuinely appreciate this project, especially because it is open-source and fosters a supportive community. Unlike larger corporations, I feel empowered to share my requests and opinions here. I kindly ask for the implementation of these features, as they would significantly enhance my workflow. Currently, I have achieved about 90% of what I had on Notion, and I am using Appflowy as my all-in-one application for tasks, notes, and projects. It truly is the best app in my opinion!

Expected Impact

Implementing these features will:

• Facilitate quicker file creation.
• Enable more complex setups, enhancing overall user experience.

Closing Note

I hope my feedback resonates with you, and I appreciate your consideration of these requests! Thank you! 😊

Can it be possible in a board / database, to filter by a relation ?

In my case, i have two databases: Backlog Sprint

I made a relation between the backlog and the sprint to be able to set in which sprint my backlog item will be processed.

In the Sprint view item, i integrate a Linked board view but i can't make a filter on items based on the sprint ...

Yeah It would be great if it gets implemented.

Amu updates on this issue @appflowy ?

[romanovzky]

This is such a frustrating papercut on an otherwise great app, any updates on its implementation?

[Artemis1-0]

That is a very eloquent way to put it. And ye, I agree.

@annieappflowy This is why I love this team, and would like to wish you a great year ahead. In the recent 10.7 update we got two way relations and seeing the roadmap I genuinely have nothing but appreciation. Thank you Appflowy team for supporting my management - it's become my trusted second brain, documentation hub, and even a warm companion in organizing my life. ❤️
