Notes are created in parent directory instead of specified directory about templater HOT 7 CLOSED

You're setting the file name to an empty string, what are you expecting the file name to be when the file is created?

fileName: ""

from templater.

Yes sorry I should of mentioned that, I leave file name blank, then inside the journal_template there is a templater block that renames it to todays date. I've copied that in below. I'm not sure that's the issue, as it creates the new note with today's date fine, just at the wrong level in the directorys.

<% tp.file.rename( tp.date.now("DD-MM-YYYY") ) %>

What should the file name be before your template renames it? That's where I'm a bit lost, I need to know what it was doing before.

I don't currently set it, as it is immediately renamed. So I'm guessing it is either empty string or defaults to untitled.

Yes I just tried it without the rename command in the template and it just gets set to untitled.
I have just tested it with setting a default name for the note instead of an empty name and it works fine in latest version. So guessing it's just a weird edge case of having no file name messes up the path creation. Happy to close this issue if you want, and I'll just add file names into my buttons.
Thanks for your help.

I was able to encounter the same issue using just Templater and tp.file.create_new(). Here's the equivalent I tested with.

<%*
const templateFile = tp.file.find_tfile("Templates/journal_template.md");
const folder = app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath("Work/Organiser/DB/Journal");
const fileName = "";
await tp.file.create_new(templateFile, fileName, true, folder);
-%>

I have fixed this in 2.2.3, I believe this will also resolve the issue you were facing with metabind!

Brilliant thank you 👍
