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

@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!

This is great! I'm hoping somebody could help me understand why the MOC isn't grabbing my summaries, though. I see this in the MOC:

with this code in the MOC:

TABLE file.cday as Created, summary
FROM "Timestamps/Meetings" and -#MOC
SORT file.cday DESC

and this code in the template:

date: <% tp.file.creation_date() %>
type: meeting
company:
summary: " "

Regardless of what I type in the "summary" section, I only ever see a dash in the Dataview in the MOC.

@pantsmasterson is your metadata code in your template sandwiched between ---? If not, it's not being translated into a property and thus won't get passed to Dataview.

It was, yes, because I was dutifully using the code at the top of this page to create the template.

I've removed it for the last few days and the behaviour is the same -- the summary does not get carried over, whether or not the dashes are there.
