Plugin Version

1.1.0

Describe the Issue

Run a 2 step button:

1. Create a new file
2. updateMetadata to add a new tag to the frontmatter

Steps to Reproduce

Example button (uses unique note creator core plugin) - similar behaviour with new note or templater:

label: New Example Note
hidden: false
tooltip: Create a new example note
id: newExampleTest
style: default
actions:
  - type: command
    command: zk-prefixer
  - type: updateMetadata
    bindTarget: tags
    evaluate: false
    value: "#example"

When run, the note containing the button gets the #example tag

Expected Behavior

The new note created at step 1 gets the updatedMetadata, ie the default bindTarget is the new file created.

[mProjectsCode]

This is intended behavior. If no file is specified, it will default to the file that the button is in.

[mProjectsCode]

It is true that the docs use the wording "current file" which is not optimal.

[tim-barnes]

So just to be clear. Action one replaces the current file in the current tab, and then action 2 acts on a file that is now closed. And this is intended behaviour.

Shame, this would have been so powerful had it work the way intuition suggested.
