double "#+title" in notes created throught the citar interface about citar-denote HOT 8 CLOSED

I've set my citar-templates to

((main . "${author editor:30} ${date year issued:4} ${title:48}")
(suffix . " ${tags keywords keywords:*} ${=key= id:15} ${=type=:12}")
(preview . "${author editor} (${year issued date}) ${title}, ${journal journaltitle publisher container-title collection-title}.\n")
(note . ""))

and it persists. Before I had

(note . "Notes on ${author}, ${title}")

but that had no effect, as the title was taken from the prompt oferred which was populated with the title, in accordance with citar-denote-title-format

Hi Jonatan,

I am glad the package is helpful to you.

This behaviour does not occur in my workflow. I use citar-open in most cases.

The citar-denote-create-note function creates new notes. This function does not use citar-templates but invokes the denote function.

My config is here: https://github.com/pprevos/emacs-config/blob/main/emacs-configuration.org

Lets try to isolate the cause.

that's very strange, so citar-denote-create-note just passes the requested file title, without the #+title? what would make denote do this..? it's also strange the way the whole top of the file gets marked.

Hi Jonatan,

The string "#+title:" does not appear anywhere in the citar-denote source code. The package generates notes using the denote function from the Denote package. My package inserts a generated title and keywords with an optional subdirectory. It then adds the reference key to the front matter.

I'll have to check what the Citar templates do. I have never used them before.

Hi Jonathan,

Has this issue been resolved?

Hi Jonatan,

I am unable to replicate your issues.

What is the value of the denote-prompts variable? Do you use a Denote template?

Also, are you using the latest version of Denote and Citar-Denote?

I have tried to replicate your problems with this minimal install, but everything works fine with new note creation. Could you find which part of your config causes the issue?
