Custom Doc Templates

[hkkmalinda]

Description

Hi,
It would be really nice if you could make AFFiNe automatically use a predefined template (by the user) for every doc when it was created. Also, it is better to create a template creation method too.

Use case

Let's say for a journal doc I like to use a specific table so when creating a doc I need that table to be added on every doc. So if I can use a doc template with the creation of the doc that will be very easy.

Anything else?

I think this feature is a good one to have in the app

[Arcadianer]

I agree. I use templates in other notes app all the time to provide a good structure in all of my blocks. Combine this with the new property system and you have a really powerful tool.
This is also one of the showstopper points for me that prohibit me from fully switching over to this tool for my everyday work.

Would also add a 'Custom Journal' template

Yes. I want to be able to create templates and use public templates created by others. Need more choices in the template library.

Please include "property" as part of the template as well. This means listing the properties, not their values. This step is crucial for making object note-taking more realistic.
