Expected result

Template to be inserted as is

Actual result

Frontmatter gets inserted, but with whitespaces in it being reduced to multiples of 2 rather than 4 as was the original and set in the Obsidian’s settings:

---
foo:
  bar:
    baz: test
---

Additional information

There seem to be some weird pre-processing going on, as any comments inserted into frontmatter in template (intended to help fill it out when its inserted) also get erased

Properties reformats YAML headers, and comments are not supported.
