I'm trying to use a dynamic block with :match to filter columnview for a
checkbox column. However, the match is failing. Based on some variations
that do work (described below the example), it seems the closing square
bracket may be the problem.
Here's a minimal example:
* Things
:PROPERTIES:
:COLUMNS: %20ITEM %CHKBOX{X/}
:ID: Things
:CHKBOX_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]"
:END:
*** One Thing
:PROPERTIES:
:CHKBOX: [X]
:END:
*** Another Thing
:PROPERTIES:
:CHKBOX: [ ]
:END:
* Dynamic Block
#+BEGIN: columnview :id Things :match "CHKBOX=\"[X]\""
| ITEM | CHKBOX |
|------+--------|
#+END:
If I use curly braces for CHKBOX_ALL (i.e., "{ }" "{X}") instead of square
braces, it works fine (of course, I have to also use :match
"CHKBOX=\"{X}\""). But then the SUMMARY-TYPE in the COLUMNS definition
doesn't work. The match (but not the summary) also works if I remove just
the *closing *square bracket from the CHKBOX properties and the :match
string. FWIW, the match also fails for the case of searching for unchecked
items (i.e., :match "CHKBOX=\"[ ]\"").

Thanks for reporting!
It is kind of expected from the manual explanation about tag matchers:
• If the comparison value is enclosed in double-quotes _and_ angular
brackets (like ‘DEADLINE<="<2008-12-24 18:30>"’), both values are
assumed to be date/time specifications in the standard Org way...
However, the heuristics described in the manual is obvious wrong here.
I improved the match parser a bit to require a number inside brackets in
timestamps, but this whole syntax is overcomplicated and difficult to
understand.
In any case, your bug should be fixed now on main.
