  • Bugfixes for sorting templates

about 2 years ago

  • Use template’s syntax for new draft instead of default syntax

over 2 years ago

  • Added a “New draft with timestamp” option. Edit the “timestamp” template tag to modify the formatting.

Create a new draft, optionally using a template or within a workspace. Skips workspaces that don’t filter drafts using tags, or that exclusively filter tags out (using “-“).

Steps

  • defineTemplateTag

    name
    Dated
    template
