@JoschD Great call. This was an artifact from when I was using a different plugin to create these templates (manually with QuickAdd) but is reduntant (and as you pointed out, unnecessary) with the current Meta Bind button method.

I'll update this gist with your modification. Thanks!

Hi @dannberg!, these templates have totally changed my daily workflow in Obsidian! Thanks so much for sharing them.

I just wanted to comment to say that for my workflow (numerous rapid fire back to back meetings), I really needed to get around the parsing issue with filenames being the same. I added an Hmm timestamp to the file name to create unique files for each just to facilitate quick creation.
The reason I need it to be quick is because if I have an impromptu meeting, I can create the file, open Obsidian on my phone, and use voice typing to transcribe the meeting in a raw format to a section I added at the bottom. I added a tp.file.cursor to the Raw Transcribed section as well.

This is very unobtrusive and adaptable to many circumstances. You just have to go back and organize things once you get the chance.
I wanted to comment here in case anyone else would find it handy.

Edit - I added a day folder to what I would be looking for 25 minutes after I created this comment.

Hi @dannberg ,

I love your templates!

I am losing my mind in trying to get a new Meeting Note with a similar similar folder structure to how the Daily Note is done:

Daily Note:
Timestamps/Year/ ##Month Name Month/Daily Note

Meeting Notes:
Timestamps/Meetings/Meeting Note

I would prefer similar structure like this:
Timestamps/Meetings/Year/ ##Month Name Month/Date/Meeting Note
(where the Year and Month and Date folders are created automagically if they don't exist like they are with the Daily Notes

In the Meetings MOC, it would also be nice to be able to collapse years and months if that would be possible.

@tbal-withatouchofmalace

I managed to accomplish what you're looking for by modifying the Meeting Template like so:

---
date: <% tp.file.creation_date() %>
type: meeting
company: 
summary: " "
---
tags: [[🗣 Meetings MOC]]
Date: [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD-dddd") %>]]


<%*
const moment = tp.date.now("YYYY/MM-MMMM");
const folder = `Meetings/${moment}`;
const fileName = tp.date.now("MM-DD-dddd") + " " + tp.file.title;

const filePath = `${folder}/${fileName}`;
await tp.file.move(filePath);
await tp.file.rename(fileName)
%>

# [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") + " " + tp.file.title %>]]

**Attendees**: 
- 

## Agenda/Questions
- 

## Notes

You may have to change the contents of const folder to match your use case as I have my meetings in a root folder called Meetings. If you're using it as originally designed, just change it from Meetings/${moment} to Timestamp/Meetings/${moment} and you should be good to go.

@TrustArgon I've never thought to do this, but I kept meaning to come back to this after seeing the question above about it. I just tested your method and it works perfectly. Thanks

@tBal-WithaTouchofMalice

@TrustArgon

That works wonderfully. Thanks!

It would be great if after entering attendees name the cursor moves to Agenda and after entering agenda it automatically moves under notes heading.

@nippyin Templater has <% tp.file.cursor() %> that allows you to specify where you want the cursor to be placed once a new note is created from a template. But I don't think there's a way to automatically move the curser after entering attendees name(s). If you find a way to get it to work, please share here!
