Is it possible to add the ability to have a default in a choice selection? For example I have a field defined as
Subscription Type: {{subscription type:choice:Streaming:Software}}
Would it be possible to have “Streaming” or “Software” preselected as the default?
This is probably a fringe use case but is it possible to put a frontmatter selection into the note body? For example, in the frontmatter I have
In the note I would like to reference subscription-type value from the frontmatter. How would I do this?
Thanks!
Hard code it in the template. If I had two similar topics I regularly created notes on, but a field varied between the two, I would make two near-identical templates with these fields hard coded in the template.
This was just a simple example, creating multi[le templates is not really feasable. If were just the two that would work.
For anyone else struggling with this you can easily get the value with templater scripting.
<% tp.frontmatter[“subscription-type”] %>
This may be a silly question…
How do I set the new note title to a auto timestamp?
I can’t make the currentdate work in any single way.
Thanks!
Me too. I cannot use the {{now:currentdate:dd-MM-yy}}
hi all, any idea how I can debug the command palette not showing any relevant options other than “From Template: Re-index Template”.
Debug log shows it is finding the templates but they don’t show on the menu.
Got templates: Templates/Zettelkasten/Book.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Company.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Course.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/ID.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Create Anki card.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Iframe.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Lecture.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Library.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Month Tag.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Note extraction.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Note.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Paper.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/People.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Post.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Product.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Question split.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Question.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Quote File.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Reading List.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Resource.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/TODO.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Tag.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Term.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Thought.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/Yearly Reading list.md, Templates/Zettelkasten/quote.md
Zettelkasten is set as the templates directory in the options.
Thanks!
So I’m wondering if it’s possible to:
Extra Credit: Remove certain characters from a field (i.e. so they can be used in the filename).
Also a slight bug. When creation of a file fails, it blocks input into the whole Obsidian app necessitating a restart of the app. Not a huge deal for me, but can be annoying.
I haven’t been able to get a template to work. I just want a fixed title to plus today’s title in the name of the note:
---
template-output: Life Plan Journal
tags: lifeplan
template-filename: {{now:currentdate:dd-MM-yyyy}} - Life Plan Journal
template-should-replace: "never"
template-should-create: "open-pane"
---
@mo-seph wondering if I could get some guidance after going through the docs, still not quite sure.
This thread looks like it has not been attended too in some time but… here we go.
I want to prompt for a project in the template and then use that as a part of the template output. My template (as well as the many others I have tried) does not work. Is tis possible? How would I accomplish what I want?
