Obsidian Quick Capture using templater. Activate from anywhere in your vault to record quick ideas, notes, time logging, etc. The Quick Capture file does NOT need to be open.

v1.4: Added ability to turn option on to nest each new quick capture entry under a header with the Daily Notes Page link [[DNP]] for each day. Just change to: let bAddHeader = true;

To create a "task" just start the quick capture text with a semicolon ";"

I am new to templater but trying to get this to work. I am getting an error and it's not working. I have created the Quick Capture note but not working.
I have created a template and paste the quick capture code in, it is in my templates folder.
Would anyone be able to give me some help?

@davejunkie did you follow my video on running your first Templater script here? #187

I suspect it may be how you are pasting the code in. You need to make sure to use ctrl + shift + v for pasting as plain text.

Thanks for the template man, I love it.
