What I’m trying to do

I have set an Attachment folder path outside the vault. The Attachment folder path is /Users/jt/storage/md_imgs.

When I copy a image in my clipboard, the image will appear at the root path of the vault.

So how to paste the image in my cilpborad to the attachment folder path I specified? I hope the pasted image will be saved at /Users/jt/storage/md_imgs/Pasted%20image%2020231217054358.png, and the responding markdown typo will be ![](file:/Users/jt/storage/md_imgs/Pasted%20image%2020231217054358.png)

So what should I do?

You can’t specify a default folder for attachments outside of the vault, the folder must be inside.
So if you want images outside the trunk, you have to move them by hand and type the link by hand.
In any case it is not possible with obsidian core to do it automatically and I do not I don’t know of any plugin that allows this.

If Obsidian is allowing you to specify a folder outside of the vault, that seems like a bug.
