The recent upgrade of this plug-in has broken "Trigger Templater on new file creation"

I don't know programming, I just want to solve the most basic problem, which is: automatically load the template when creating a new note.

I have been using your plug-in for several years without any problems, but after upgrading it two days ago, it stopped working. I didn’t change any settings.

I don't know what you changed, I just want to load the template automatically,

Can you provide more settings? You need to have the following settings to accomplish what you want:

• Template folder location: folder where you will put your templates (in my case, “00 Meta/01 Templates”).
• Trigger Templater on new file creation: on.
• Enable folder templates: on.
• Add new folder template(s).
  • Add your folder templates here. The left input is where you’ll set the folder where you want the template to be applied. The right input is for the template that will be applied to new notes in that folder.

Can you also provide what version you were on before and what version you are on now?

I have the same issue.

Here are screenshots of my settings:

This is my template:

---<%*
let title = tp.file.title
if (title.startsWith("Untitled") || title.startsWith("Unbenannt")) {
    title = await tp.system.prompt("[Folder TEMPLATE Füller] Bitte den neuen Füllernamen eingeben:");
	if (title != null)  {
    await tp.file.rename(title);
    tp.file.title = title;
} %>

<% tp.file.cursor(0) %>

This is the output of the console:

That error is saying it can't find the template that is specified in your folder template settings for that folder. Maybe you changed the path of your template recently? Can you try removing that folder template and adding it back again?

Another issue I'm seeing is that you're missing a closing }

<%*
let title = tp.file.title
if (title.startsWith("Untitled") || title.startsWith("Unbenannt")) {
    title = await tp.system.prompt("[Folder TEMPLATE Füller] Bitte den neuen Füllernamen eingeben:");
	if (title != null)  {
    await tp.file.rename(title);
    tp.file.title = title;
  } // HERE
} %>

Thank you very much for your answer.

The missing } seems to fix the issue on android mobile. Tomorrow I'll look at Obsidian on Windows 10.

[merlinuwe]

And if fices the issue also on Windows 10. Thank you very much!

Closing due to no response from OP.
