How to Automatically Add Tags, Status, Date & Save Notes to a Specific Folder in Obsidian?

Help
1

I’m looking for a way to create new notes in Obsidian that automatically include:

  • Predefined tags
  • A status field (e.g., “In Progress”)
  • The current date and time when the file is created
  • Saved in a specific folder

I usually work with QuickAdd, but I’m open to using Templater or other plugins if needed. What’s the best way to set this up? Any suggestions or workflows you use would be greatly appreciated!

Can you be specific about what the question is?

You asked if there is a way. You listed QuickAdd and Templater. Check.

You listed the things you need. Tags, status, date, folder. Check.

Where are you stuck?

Both QuickAdd and Templater are able to do this kind of work, so it’s more a matter of preference than anything else. So if you’re used with QuickAdd you could keep on using that. I’m more accustomed to Templater, so I would use that.

In addition to other (more or less obvious) differences between these two plugins, remember that Templater requires an editor window to be open for it to trigger a template, this is a restriction QuickAdd doesn’t have at the expense of not always knowing if there is and what the active file is.

I’m stocked at how to write the exact line of codes to specify my need in new note created, using templater, want a tutorial on how to , I’m a newbie to coding by theway

I’d say, Quickadd is for everyone without coding experience.
In quickadd, you can combine multiple actions thanks to the macro feature.

Templates has its own discussion forum on GitHub, probably you can ask for help there.

Another way, try to ask AI to write code for you.
