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.
