[Question] Use a standard file name instead of `Title` Text field

[FelipeRearden]

Hello @mo-seph !!!!!

Sorry if is a dumb question :)

Is it possible to define a specific file name in the template note in a way that when I’m creating a new note from template I could skip the text field Tilte: [ ]

I was trying to use:

template-name: filename template-name: filename.md template-name: ”filename” template-name: ”filename.md”

But I get nothing :(

Thanks !

Have a great day!

Not sure of the use case here - the title is used for the filename, so you wouldn't be able to use it as a template if it always made the same file. Can you tell me more? If it's to avoid creating lots of notes, there's a setting for that now.

Hello @mo-seph !!!!

Sorry for my bad explanation, let me rephrase !

My idea:

I want to create a template with a predefined filename to new note created by the template note. For example: Using the template note called Template3 and I want to name my new note with the filename airplane and save it inside the folder called Folder1

In my mind this should be my yaml:

template-output: "Folder1"
template-name: "airplane"

When opening the modal, I was expecting that the field Title: would be filled with the word airplane

Am I doing something wrong?

I'm asking you this because I'm thinking about 2 FR related to this behavior. I wanted to check with you before creating these new items.

Let me know of you need more information :)

Have a great day!

There's a new template-filename field in the YAML you can use to construct a filename. Note - if you were putting links into the replacement text (e.g. [[{{title}}]], make sure to use the new tag filename instead, e.g. [[{{filename}}]]

Thank you very much !!!!!!!!

it´s amazing @mo-seph ! I loved the new creator modal interface :)

Working perfect on version '0.1.6' Obsidian '0.12.19'
