Is it possible to just list all sub-folder name in a folder?

I would like to use dataview to list a sub-folder name in a note, is there any way to do it ?

What kind of a sub-folder name do you want to list? The path & folder of the current note is availabe in file.path and file.folder, and you could manipulate these using stuff like split().

If you want to list all existing sub-folders of a given folder, it can kind of be done if there are files in those folders. Then you could do a query to list all notes in the current folder and sub-folders, and then strip out the sub-folder part of your text and use that to group your entries by those sub-folders. Does that make sense?

The following query shows 10 of the sub-folders to the ForumStuff folder in my test vault:

```dataview
LIST
FROM "ForumStuff"
FLATTEN list(split(file.folder, "/")) as folderParts
GROUP BY folderParts[1] as sub-folder
LIMIT 10
```

You'll of course needs to change the ForumStuff to your initial folder, and change the folderParts[1] to match you're folder position. Below is a similar variant where I remove through replacing the first part, and then display only the 10 first subfolder having even more subfolders.

```dataview
LIST
FROM "ForumStuff"
GROUP BY replace(file.folder, "ForumStuff/", "") as subfolder
WHERE contains(subfolder, "/")
LIMIT 10
```

The output of these queries in my test vault is as follows:

Thanks, it works well.
