New draft with current date

Hi! That bot’s annoying!

Anyway, yes, Drafts can do this. You’ll need to set up a document template for this which will initiate the date action when it’s opened. You give that document a name and then whenever you want a document that starts with the date (or anything else) as text, you just use that template.

The basics are covered in this ‘how to’ on The Sweet SetUp website: Automating Drafts to Create Custom Documents in Seconds – The Sweet Setup

Now, you’ll also need to enter the correct command to insert the correct current date (and time if you wish) each time you start a new document using this template. The command would be the first line of text at the top of the document template.

Here’s a thread that explains the syntax (syntax = correct command) required: Insert the Date Created in a draft

Hope that helps and that that pesky bot stays squished!
