I experienced an issue where my templates were getting evaluated to markdown without me doing anything. I created a template in my configured templates folder, and when I came back the next day my templater code was replaced with markdown.
Context
I store my vault in an iCloud drive and access it from multiple devices. I discovered that this issue is occurring because I have the "Trigger Templater on new file creation" feature enabled, so when I create a new template and it is downloaded to a different device from the iCloud drive, it is considered a new file and automatically evaluated.
Proposed Solution
I think it would be ideal to only trigger for new files that are not in the configured templates folder.
Alternatives
For now, I am just leaving that feature off and manually triggering templater for daily notes and other programmatically created notes.
