Using metaedit to update YAML frontmatter does not cause inline DQL to update

[Jonpot]

Goal: Create a button to update the frontmatter of the page the button is on, then propagate that new frontmatter through the page via inline DQL.

Achieved: A button that updates the frontmatter of the page the button is on.

Issue: Inline DQL does not grab the new frontmatter values until the page is refreshed via clicking back and forth to a different page or reloading obsidian. If in LP, "touching" the inline by clicking it then clicking off of it also is a valid refresh. Ideally, however, this would just happen automatically without having to interact with the page further.

Posited solutions: On Discord, dv.index.touch(), dv.index.reinitialize(), and dv.index.reload() all have been suggested as additions to the button script to no avail. It's possible my implementation of them was incorrect though.

Below is my latest attempt, which still fails to update the inline.

const k = 2
const {update} = this.app.plugins.plugins["metaedit"].api 
const {createButton} = app.plugins.plugins["buttons"] 
const defer = async (file, key) => {
    const value = "⭐"
    await update(key, value, file)
    await dv.index.reload(dv.current().file)
    await window.app.workspace.trigger("dataview:refresh-views")
}
createButton({app, el: this.container, args: {name: "⭐"}, clickOverride: {click: defer, params: [dv.current().file.path, dv.current().habits[k]]}})

Suggestions are appreciated!

If by inline DQL you mean = value, then inline DQL in live preview is still experimental and doesn't support live re-rendering yet.

I am aware, I gathered as much from Discord. Perhaps I was unclear: I am working primarily in Read view. I would like to avoid LP if possible, but I noticed that "touching" it in LP was another way to update the inline.

Ah, I see. Seems like the refreshing in read mode must be broken - I will investigate.
