CQL+discussion

I'm having a CQL problem and don't know where to ask for help.

My User cards have a +Locations Visited pointer, and I want a Location+Visitors to be a search that lists everyone who included the location in their Locations Visited plus card.

Visitors+*rform looks like this:

{"plus":["Locations Visited", {"refer_to":"_left"}]}

Which gives me this:

NoMethodError: undefined method `to_key' for nil:NilClass

If I replace "_left" with the location name in quotes, it works.

What do I need to do to make it work? Also, I'd be happy to move this discussion elsewhere if it doesn't belong.

try "_self" instead of "_left". Currently, "_self" refers to the card on which the search is based (ie, the left card), *not* to the search card itself. This is inexcusably confusing, so we're very likely to introduce and migrate to a new nomenclature eventually, but we haven't really determined the best solution yet.

Re belonging, we're now moving to a system where we're trying to steer most of these questions through "support tickets", where we think our community of power users will be more likely to see it. But no need to move this one :)

NOTE: in general, the best way to get CQL help (or any kind of Decko help) is to submit a Support Ticket
