Creating a new note will correctly be made in the default location, but only in some certain cases, see below:

This was not fixed in:

Steps to reproduce

  1. In a file, create a link to a file using [[]] to a file that does not create.
  2. Open the quick switcher and look for the file created in step 1.
  3. Press enter on it to create the file with that name.

Expected result

The new note is created according to the default file location set in Files and Links.

(Ideally, I would love this to create it in the same folder as the note(s) that references it, if all of those notes are in the same folder)

Actual result

The new note is created in the vault root.

Additional information

works for me.
Download and reinstall obsidian. Post a screen recording of this happening in the help vault along with your settings.

I think I’ve also seen this. I’ll report back.
