This is great! I'm hoping somebody could help me understand why the MOC isn't grabbing my summaries, though. I see this in the MOC:

with this code in the MOC:

TABLE file.cday as Created, summary
FROM "Timestamps/Meetings" and -#MOC
SORT file.cday DESC

and this code in the template:

date: <% tp.file.creation_date() %>
type: meeting
company:
summary: " "

Regardless of what I type in the "summary" section, I only ever see a dash in the Dataview in the MOC.

@pantsmasterson is your metadata code in your template sandwiched between ---? If not, it's not being translated into a property and thus won't get passed to Dataview.

It was, yes, because I was dutifully using the code at the top of this page to create the template.

I've removed it for the last few days and the behaviour is the same -- the summary does not get carried over, whether or not the dashes are there.
