@bepolymathe I think you mean the time of updated_time is not updated?
You must use the field user_updated_time, the field updated_time is only updatet on note changes.

Thank you for the answer. That's a good workaround for the problem. I was making changes in the creation date because I need to have task start dates... It's not very clean but until there is a possible improvement of tasks in Joplin or via a plugin I do it like this because I really need to have my (long) notes and tasks in the same place.
Thanks for the idea.
Hi @JackGruber
Me again 
Do you think it would be possible to check the tasks as done in the tables generated by note overview? I noticed that the plugin Embed any search - with content! offers it ... but maybe there is a limitation?

@bepolymathe No with my implementation this is not possible. Because I use static content.

Ok thanks. What a shame. I would love to combine the two.

I always wanted to have a card like view for when I click on a notebook in Joplin. Note-overview seemed a good tool for this. Using some css trick I managed to get this. It's not beautiful but it works. hopefully people find it helpful and useful and some one can make it more prettier .
The slight issue I have is that every time I update I have to add this <div class= "container">. Is there a way to add some text a single time instead of repeat it with every note?
added this to the top of my note:
<style>
.container {
column-count: 3;
column-gap: 0.5 rem;
}
.note {
padding: 0.2rem;
margin-top:5px;
max-height:500px;
overflow:hidden visible;
float:left;
font-size:13px;
line-height: 1.2;
width: calc(100%/1);
border: 1px solid grey;
break-inside: avoid-column;
background:#006699;
}
.note h1 {
color:#ffbf80;
}
.note h1:after
{
content:' ';
display:block;
border: 1px solid grey;
}
</style>
Note Overview script:
<!-- note-overview-plugin
search: notebook:"test"
fields: title,body
alias: updated_time AS Last Updated, title AS Title
listview:
text: " <div class= \"note\">\r\n \r\n {{body}} \r\n </div>"
-->
This also works surprisingly well on mobile:
BEWARE that if you have a large number of notes this will use a lot of resource I tried doing it on some 300 notes and Joplin was using 70% CPU and 2GB of memory

Hi @JackGruber
I am building a rather complex note that includes several overview occurrences. I've noticed that if I create a structure like below before triggering the plugin for the first time, it deletes all the titles and subtitles.
# Pro
## Next
<!-- note-overview-plugin
search: type:todo iscompleted:0 notebook:"2 - NEXT" tag:pro
fields: title, created_time, body, todo_due, tags
sort: created_time ASC
-->
## Waiting
<!-- note-overview-plugin
search: type:todo iscompleted:0 notebook:"3 - WAITING" tag:pro
fields: title, created_time, body, todo_due, tags
sort: created_time ASC
-->
## Someday / Maybe
<!-- note-overview-plugin
search: type:todo iscompletetd:0 notebook:"5 - SOMEDAY / MAYBE" tag:pro
fields: title, created_time
sort: created_time ASC
-->
Is this normal? Can you reproduce this behavior?
@bepolymathe Bugs should be reported on GitHub.
Yes of course 
In your screenshot i see a footer that i think shows the number of completed and uncompleted tasks in a note. If this is true, what plugin does that?
Are you referring to the part where there is completed? That is just showing the tags that are assigned to the note
Oh... Then I guess this is an idea for another plugin.

Hi @JackGruber
Is there a way to put text in a note that would not be rendered by the "body" field in the table?
I don't want to use "excerpt" because it removes the clickable links from the table. 
What’s your opinion ?
Thanks for sharing! This is pretty great. However I can't see titles (or are they not note titles but instead the h1 titles inside the note?) or the tags like you do so I changed the script like this:
<!-- note-overview-plugin
search: notebook:"test"
fields: title,body
listview:
text: "<div class= \"note\"> \r\r # {{title}}\r \r {{body}} \r </div>"
prefix: <div class= "container">
suffix: </div>
-->
Prefix and suffix does just that. Found it here.
Sorry I meant that when I copied all the code from this post I couldn't see the note titles but with the modified code above, I can see them 
I'd like to make more use of transclusions in my notes, and this plugin seems the best way to facilitate them.
I'm missing 2 things though: can they be done? I have checked the docs, so unless I've missed something, they can't. In that case - can you maybe add them, pretty please?
First thing: can I somehow turn off MD generation? I'd like to have a note that would more or less be a concatenation of multiple other notes. It does not make sense to include them in the note body, though - they'd just clutter up search results needlessly, and it would do nothing.
Second thing - can I only include a specific section from a note?
Thanks for the great plugin!
Not sure what do you mean.
No

Sorry, I didn't phrase that very well. I meant that I'd like if no markdown was generated and saved in the note, the result would just be rendered in the view pane. (Some plugins, like Backlinks, can do things like that - not sure if it's in Note overview though.)
