How to avoid conversion into date?

[holroy]

In my country 101 m is read as "101 meters", but when I use this in an inline field, dataview believes it to be a "101 minutes", aka "1 hour, 41 minutes". How can I avoid this conversion into a date?

Test-case:

myField:: 101 m

```dataview
LIST WITHOUT ID myField
WHERE file.name = this.file.name
```

Which produces the following:

Update: After searching for some similar phrasing, it seems like #1403 touches on the same issue, if I'm not mistaken

You can wrap the value in quotes to help Dataview see it as a string rather than a date, e.g.

myField::"101 m"

That should prevent Dataview from interpreting it as a duration of 101 minutes.
