  Sorry if this a common request, I couldn’t find anything when I searched.

  I’d love to be able to use variables in templates. For example, putting today’s date in the title. Trello uses curly braces and provides a wide range:

  Something like that would be fantastic!

  Thanks for the great idea, @maerk @brsma & @rblastra

  We had a feature request open for this, so I have gone ahead and added all of your interests to it.

  If we get more interest, it will increase its chances of being added sooner to our app.

  +1 from my side for this essential must have!

  Until it’s not implemented i have to continue to use Obsidian with it’s extraordinary Template Engine and i can reccomend it to anyone who is in need of such templating capabilities.

  So pretty please add it as i love the rest of Day One and i want it to replace Obsidian :-)
