Tag based lists

[Anna]

I'm missing a way to put together lists of things that stay current as I update my realm. By using tags and simple queries rules you could create a list of all dragons or large towns or whatever you have a need to easy keep track of.

It would be great to have a way to add list like this to a topic. I know I can create a custom view, but I want a way to have that kind of results neatly tucked away in a topic to be updated each time I open the topic again.

By using custom tags it can be used to create all sorts of useful lookup functions!

Yeah, I'd like more features like this that take advantage of Realmsworks being a database at heart.

I would want to have the "auto-update" function be a toggle, so that when actually running the game RealmWorks doesn't slow down on selecting the topic (i.e. it could keep the same contents as last time it was run, perhaps during game prep).

Also, presumably you would like the query to be run again if the topic is already open in a tab and you switch back to that tab?

I'd requested a way to have a list auto-update based on tags shortly after release.

I was specifically looking at a summary list of NPCs by city/region that would update as people moved around. I was seeking a solution to the one container per item limit. I wanted people in multiple places.

I've worked around it using Excel spreadsheets. This has the added bonus that I can print them.

Like Anna and AEIOU, I thing such an option would be very helpful.

I am still seeking. There was an usefull idea to that a while ago, added my two cents there:
