Customizable templates for #people, #meeting, #link, and daily notes.

It's be very helpful to be able to customize the templates used for these note types, which Reflect creates in various ways outside of the normal flow.

Would absolutely love this for adding meetings to the daily note. I don't want all of the people listed at the top level, it makes reading through my notes super difficult. I'd love to instead move the people in the meetings into a collapsible sub-node so I can have the time and meeting name at the top level for easy scannability.

I agree with this, though would take it a step further to allow creating customizable fields for any hashtag, which I posted about in this feature request: https://roadmap.reflect.app/feature-requests/p/customizable-fields-for-notes-supertags

Having custom fields that we can add/edit to any of these hashtags would make it easier to organize our notes - even creating better tables to search/sort through them. For example if I want to find all of the movies I haven't seen that are comedies, or if I want to find all of the books I haven't read that are fiction, etc.

Maybe Tasks can be included as well?

Brad Hawkins

Yep, would love to see this feature added.

Plus one! Just came here hoping this was planned and I'm excited to see that it is. I want to change the fields in the #links template.

Related to this - I would like to be able to customise the format of meetings added to my daily note. At the moment it says (for example) "9:00am met with Person A, Person B, Person C, Person D, Person E, Person F, Person G for Meeting Name". I would much prefer to have something like

9:00am Meeting Name

- with Person A, Person B......

so I can see the meeting name upfront and hide the people. It's a minor thing but still a bit of a pain to edit every time.

For this it would be great to be able to set a dynamic date in the templates. For example "Created date" would default to "todays date" in the note if I use "@now" (or similar) in the template.

100% have wanted this from day one. Thanks for adding it here!

From an implementation / product point of view, to me this would make the most sense. There is a checkbox + dropdown. Select a default you are overriding with whatever template you specify. Maybe this would require very minimal coding as it's pointing to another template instead of something hardcoded?
