Issue with tables not displaying tags unless they are in frontmatter or keys

[filmgal]

Tables that include tags as one of the header items are not displaying the tags in the columns, unless the tags are declared as a value (in frontmatter, or using dv keys).

Is that expected behaviour? If so, is there some way to include regular Obsidian tags ('#tag1, #tag2)?

Example: - The Dark Knight has tags in frontmatter. None of the other films do; they use the plain old hashtag tagname:

Can you transcribe your table query?
A field in frontmatter (tags: #mytag) is different from an implicit field (file.tags).

```dataview
table genre, tags
from #film/title and (#have or #tostream)
where contains(genre, "action")
```

[mnvwvnm]

If you try

table genre, file.tags as tags
from #film/title and (#have or #tostream)
where contains(genre, "action")

your table shows the regular tags but not include the frontmatter values for the field 'tags'... because these aren't real tags (you can confirm that these tags aren't included/accounted in obsidian tag pane).
Two notes:

1. in the expression file.tags as tags "file.tags" is the implicit data and "tags" is the name you want to show in table (you can choose, for example, file.tags as hot)
2. explore the official documentation: https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/docs/where-data-comes-from

@mnvwvnm Thanks, works like a charm. It's getting confusing - I sort of wish tags were tags no matter where they were listed.
