Obsidian Web Clipper set default folder?

What I’m trying to do

Set a default location within my vault for where clippings are to be placed.

Things I have tried

Looked in help and can’t find it.

I tried entering in a default vault with vault_name/01_Inbox/ which is the name of my inbox folder. However when I tried to clip something I got an error message vault not found.

Then I tried a fully qualified path name from Users all the way down to the inbox folder and got the same error.

I also tried without the ending /

Then I tried putting the 01_Inbox/Clippings by typing over the Clippings folder and that also failed.

I do not want a new folder created in my vault. I want the clippings folder located in my inbox folder.

How do I set that up?

I believe the only way to do this is through the templates in the Web Clipper settings in your browser.

I just changed the template above to 01_Inbox/Clippings and the clipped note went to that folder. Not what you need?

In the General settings, first, you need to define Vault(s), and then, as @Guapa pointed out, you define just the folder without Vault. Vault, you select from the dropdown below the Note location—path to the folder you specify on Template(s).

Yes, that works.

Templates is not at all where I thought it would be. I was expecting it in settings. So me the location is not part of a template.
