Creation of a new note via link doesn't trigger the template insertion

[ShaneNZ]

Assume that a template _fruitTemplate has been defined for the folder Fruit:

Steps

1. Create a note anywhere in the vault with a link of [[Fruit/Apple]]
2. Click on the link in that note to create the new note.

Expected Behaviour: a new note called "Apple" is created in the folder "Fruit", with _fruitTemplate inserted Actual Behaviour: the new note is created, but _fruitTemplate is NOT inserted

Comments

• Vault is set to use absolute paths, in case that has an impact
• this behaviour may be as intended, but personally I'd expect the plugin to insert the template for a folder no matter how that note is created (link, new note hotkey/default folder, file folder right click and new, command palette, etc)

Sorry, but I can't reproduce. Is your pane in edit mode after CTRL clicking the link?

[ShaneNZ]

Yes it is, and I think I've isolated the bug. See the attached video, note creation is case insensitive for the path, but triggering the template insertion is case sensitive - I think this is the issue. "Definition/Testing" was created correctly (right place, with the template inserted) whereas "definition/testing2" was created in the right place, but the template insertion didn't happen.

Also using MacOS 11.4 and Obsidian v0.12.13

Sorry for the late reply. Honestly, I am not able to reproduce the behavior shown in the video. Are you sure the folder defintion does not exist?

[ShaneNZ]

Sorry for my late reply :) Yes, have checked that and also trialled with a filename called "asdfgh" just to avoid a possible collision. I haven't tried disabling other plugins, could there be something there?
