2 years ago I think the issue is that it is grabbing both buttons prior to templater execution and then replacing both into the note afterwards assuming they need to be reverted.
It is challenging to sort out just the templater buttons from everything else. that code is basically spaghetti right now.. :sweat_smile:
I have these two buttons below on an Obsidian Note. My goal was that each button when pressed will execute a python script and clean up any templater code inserted into the page and leave a 'clean' display of the two buttons.
The issue (not yours) I found is that it is necessary to turn off the community plugin 'Filename Heading Sync' which was throwing out the replace activity for some reason.
The replace [1, 99999] works perfectly and removes the inserted templater code by either button.
My question is why does replace [1, 9999] not destroy the second button? Does it take a full snapshot of the page prior to the templater script execution? I was confused by the documentation.
I'm not complaining because my use case works perfectly and I have a page called command centre (below) that now has lots of buttons for my scripts which is great.
Thanks for your excellent work in bring Buttons plugin to the community.
