Steps to reproduce
Creating a note by specifying a link and clicking on it (e.g. [[obsidian/new folder/new note]] performs the expected behavior and appears to create both the new folder and the note within it. You can then add content to this note and the note will persist. However, when I then open obsidian on another device (which shares the vault via obsidian sync), the device invisibly deletes this note and the folder it resides in. This is mitigated by manually creating the folder first.
Expected result
It seems consistent with the overall UX that creating a new note in a new folder via the specification of a link and following the link should work. The note and folder should persist through syncing.
If this is not intended to work, it should not appear to work and then result in notes being deleted later…
Actual result
Notes and folders are deleted without warning to the user. When the user subsequently attempts to find the note either by following the link or by browsing, they are not present.
(content can, however, be recovered by using obsidian sync’s recovery feature.)
