Ok here’s something I didn’t realize could be done with the new Inline Buttons…

Buttons in Dataview

[dryice]

Hello! I have a suggestion, which I also documented just now on the Buttons Git page

• My tasks page has a nice button

name New Task
type note(New Note) template
action New Task
templater true
color blue

• which creates a New Note
  
• but this New Note has the same title as the next note I create by clicking this button. So it only functions once.
• I want to be able to name the new note each time I click the button.
• here is the template it uses, and I would like the Templater tp.file.title function to also operate.

# <% tp.file.title %>

---
#tasks #inbox

Completed:: 
Project:: [[<%tp.file.cursor(1)%>]]
Status:: #active
Priority:: 
Date Created:: <% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") %>
Due Date::
Defer Date::
Recur Length::

Completed Date::
energy::
Estimated Time::

• I would like an option to “Name New Note” in a pop-up window when using a button that creates new notes.

In case you are still searching, i wrote a short post on that issue

Create a note and call a template in one step (no user function or 3rd party code editor)

Hi all I just put together a 3-liner for creating a note and calling a template in one step rather than the 2-steps native to Obsidian. I thought i would share as it may be useful for some. Most importantly, this does not require user functions (i.e. works on mobile as well) or any sort of 3rd party plugin/code editor to Templater. In your template folder, create a note that will generate future notes for you (I called it ‘NewFile’). Paste the below code: <%* const fileName = await tp.syste…

I’m using Buttons in my daily notes to:

• bring in a checklist of physio exercises I’m having to do twice daily, which when pressed, notes the time I started the exercises
  • the template holding the physio exercises also has a “Finish” button that gets replaced with the finishing time when pressed
• run iOS Shortcuts that open various screens of various apps as part of my daily tasks:

    ```button
    name Start Streak
    type link
    action shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=Streak
    remove true
    ```

I tried adding a button into an Kanban card, but it doesn’t work. Is there a way to make this work?

Is the issue that codeblocks don’t work in Kanban cards?

I use inline buttons with Kanban boards. I think I had to edit the plugin at a certain point.

I’m making notes on the fiction I consume and I need to track characters from different fiction. I figured out a way to automatically create special Buttons that add new entries to my Dataview tables using Quick Add.
