I’m having issues with my queries.

I have two pages: ‘locations’ and ‘program’.

Both have children. Each program-item has a select-field for selecting a location where this program-item takes place.

Now I need to create a query for my locations-page that filters all the program-items that have the current location set. I’ve tried this:

`site.page("event/program”).children.listed.filterBy(“location”, “page.id”)`

`page.id` refers to the location-page which wraps this ‘programs’ child query.

But that would be too easy, I guess?

Wrapping `page.id` in quotes will turn It into a simple string - but you want it as query, so drop the quotes there. Second, check if on your program pages the `location` field really stores the page id and not a UUID or something else.

well, I’m using Nuxt/vue in my frontend and try to

```javascript
…
programs: {
query: 'site.page("editions/abrupt-2025/program").children.listed.filterBy("location", page.id)',
select: {
title: true,
date: true,
location: 'page.location.toPage.title',
},
},
…

```

but both ‘id’ and ‘uuid’ don’t seem to work.

Have you checked what the field value of `location` actually looks like?

This:  
**- ‘page://ULg9uFpQ5F1zYBDp’**

so I’m assuming uuid would have to do the trick(?)
