Create a new note from template passing parameters

Help
10

I have solved my issue and possibly also @gianx issue.
Im using the buttons plugin to create a new note from a template with backlink to parrent file by the push of a button.
The buttons code for a specific case note has the following syntax in my case template file.

name case_note
type note(tmp-<%tp.file.title%>) template
action case note 1
templater true

This ensures that the button creates a note called tmp-<CASEID> from a template called case note 1 which will pull the CASEID from the title and insert it as a backlink. In addition Im passing metadata (a field called titel) from the parent not to the child via DataviewAPI.page object.

case note 1 templater file:

<%*
   const dv = this.app.plugins.plugins["dataview"].api;
	let refnr = tp.file.title.slice(4,10);
   
   const fooMeta = DataviewAPI.page(tp.file.find_tfile(refnr).path)
   let new_titel = tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD_HHmm")
    tp.file.rename(new_titel)
   await tp.file.move("daily notes/" + tp.date.now("YYYY") +  "/" + tp.date.now("MM") + "/" + new_titel)
-%>
---
type: case_note
titel: <% fooMeta.titel %>
---
summary:: 
refnr:: [[<%refnr%>]]
