Templater can't find my template

Hi All,

I am a complete newbie with Obsidian.
I am 100% sure I am missing something obvious here.

What I’m trying to do

I am trying to use a hot key to bring in a template into an existing file.

Things I have tried

I have looked around and can’t find anything obvious that I am missing.

Here is the text from the log (any idea what I am missing):

Thanks.

By way of clarification for this issue:

  • I have defined my template folder location:
    image

  • I have assigned a hotkey to the template:


  • When I am in an empty note and hit the hotkey, that is when I get the error:
    image

Any thoughts?

I have sorted it out: I thought the templates were in the folder, but they were just under them and then I had to create a folder called “Notes” ~ just as the instructions say.
Sorry for the noise.
