'Add to Database' question

So far I'm enjoying SiYuan the most out of available PKM tools. Great job!

Recently, I noticed there is a functionality on a block "Add to database". When I click it, it adds the block to a selected database, but all the columns are empty. I am wondering what are the use cases for this feature? I was wondering if I can add to a database that will automatically fill in data in table with information from the sub-blocks from the added block.

Thank you in advance for the response!

With regards,

Eric

      Those are great answers, thanks. I was looking for this.

      Just one more thing remains though...

      Can I display block's attributes inside of it?

      You may need template columns

      Please use the following template.

      .action{$id := .id}
.action{$blockList := queryBlocks "SELECT * FROM blocks where id = (select root_id from blocks where id = '?')" $id}
.action{$block := first $blockList}
.action{$block.Content}

      MOD

      This function can be seen as recording metadata for blocks and managing these metadata (sorting, filtering, etc.) through different views, thereby making it easier to manage blocks.
