Change YML title and date with templater

I am trying to create a basic notes template, which I will use for most of my notes. I have two YML metadata (or property in Obsidian) I want templater to take care of:

1. title
2. date

I searched it up, and apparently these two could replace those data when I insert the template:

<% tp.file.title %>

``<% tp.date.now(“YYYY-MM-DD”) %>```

However it doesn’t seem to be working. Is there something I am missing?

Could anyone help me out? It would be greatly appreciated

Here is a video to clarify what my problem is: Watch Recording 2024-04-23 112106 | Streamable

You are using the built-in templates “insert template” function instead of templater’s insert template.

If you want to use templater code, you have to use the templater plugin and use it’s insert template function.

Thank you!
Haven’t thought of that😅
