Add all meta fields on note creation

Feature Requests
1

I generally use an external editor to write my notes (Vim in my case).

I would find it useful to have all the meta fields added, before they are populated because currently, if I create a note in Notenik, enter the note title, press Cmd + S to save and then open in my editor I get this:

Title:  2025-07-20 Sunday

If I create a note, enter the note title, add a word, then Cmd + S I will get:

Title:  2025-07-20 Sunday

Body:

Test.

But I wonder if there would be any unintended consequences?

It’s a valid suggestion. Let me give it a good think. Maybe there’s a way I could make it optional.

Check out the latest beta. I believe you should be able to get the effect you’re looking for by placing a @ character in the collection template file, just preceding the field type. (See the interim Knowledge Base included with the beta for details.) I’ll be interested to hear how this works for you! Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi @hbowie, works well for me so far.

I especially like that I can pick and choose which fields to show up — not all or nothing.
