I am using a hotkey to create a new note from a template with the help of templater plugin. Let’s say one of the variables in the template is <%tp.file.title%>. But when I do that without creating the new note first manually, the templater populates the note with “untitled” because that is the default new note title. So even if I retitle my note, which I would be doing for the first time since it is a brand new note, the templater-populated note would continue to show “untitled” as the note title in the note.
Is there a way I get a chance to title the note and the templater can then update the tp.file.title in the note itself after I have updated the title? Without it, it kinda defeats the purpose partially to have the templater populate the field.title.
In other words, this is my desired workflow:
- Create a new note using the template from the templater plugin with the help of a hotkey.
- Now title the note manually
- Then press some key so that the templater updates any <%tp.file.title%> variables inside the note to the new title.
Either the above workflow or the templater itself giving me a pop up box to name the note title when #1 is run. That’d work too.
Is any of the above possible and can a non-tech savvy person like me do it?
