Neither branch nor ref seemed to do anything. They also both get a linting error from the YAML schema validation. I was able to just switch to the branch I wanted using vscode's git tools though, and Dendron seems to have no issues with that.

I recently needed to revisit this, and see that I also can't get it to work with

branch

or

ref

. @SeriousBug Is this a known issue for selfcontained vaults a the moment? I couldn't find it listed anywhere, so I have opened a bug report: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/3778 @tpb if you already opened an issue on it, definitely share. Otherwise, upvote the GitHub issue with an emoji thumbs up in the issue if you can. Also, if I'm missing any details that come to mind, also add to the issue discussion 🙂

I think this was planned but I don't quite remember if it was implemented. Sorry!

ah - this might be missing on our end. tagging @Joshi whose oncall this week for visibility
