Can't place items under correct heading

[lonix1]

I tried:

  "journal.tpl-memo-after": "## Notes",
  "journal.tpl-task-after": "## Tasks",

But that doesn't place items after those headings... everything ends up at the top of the file.

It also says:

This setting is outdated, please use the setting 'templates' instead

But there's no indication how to do so?

I had the same issue as resolved it by editing the User settings.json and adding the setting in journal.templates like below:

    "journal.templates": [
        {
            "name": "task",
            "template": "- [ ] Task: ${input}",
            "after": "## Tasks"
        },

I also had to set the default journal.tpl-task to empty like this:

    "journal.tpl-task": "",

I think there is some issue where the defaults are not overidden by journal.templates.

Thanks, that helped, but only when using tasks.

Unfortunately it doesn't work when combined with notes. When I specify tasks AND notes using @jfrome's workaround, the stuff is added in the wrong places.

@pajoma How do we get this to work?

I have changed the order when looking up the configurations. The extension will now check if a templates section is configured, if it fails it will check the old style.

I am not really sure why it doesn't work in the current version. Doesn't happen with my current build, should be fixed with the next release.

Cool, I can't wait to try it out!

What is the status of this? I installed the vscode-journal extension, made no configuration changes, but every item I enter using Cmd-Shift-J just gets sent to the top of the day's entry:

# Wednesday, April 21 2021

- MEMO: note test
- [ ] TASK: test

## Tasks

## Notes

I haven't overridden any default settings. Using version 0.11.2
