Bug Description

After having set in the configuration the note path to my template of choice, I noticed that when using the command on <new_note_title> it would create the new note, import the template, but wouldn't swap text segments like {{date:YYYYMMDD}} with the actual date itself.

To note, it would work with {{title}} in the title section of the note, but wouldn't for any that were in the note body like the above mentioned {{date:YYYYMMDD}}.

Make sure you have done the following

  • I have updated to the latest version of this workflow.
  • I am using Alfred 5. (Alfred 4 is not supported by this workflow anymore.)
  • I have updated to the latest version of the Metadata-Extractor and the Advanced URI plugin.
  • If the o… main search does not work, I made sure that I haven't changed any of the default settings of the Metadata-Extractor. Furthermore, I have tried rerunning osetup and it still does not work.
  • If notes in general can be found, but recently created or renamed notes cannot, I used the oupdate command to manually update the metadata.
  • I have not renamed my Obsidian config folder, it's still .obsidian (About → Advanced → Override config folder).

That's not a bug, that's simply not a feature this workflow has implemented.

I see little value in implementing templating functionality when there are Obsidian plugins that can already do that.

So to get things like date insertion, please use a plugin like Templater
