I’d like to create note templates that already have a few tags assigned to them. As far as I can see, that isn’t possible as-is.

Would that be possible? What do you think?

@CalebJohn implemented this but as far as I know templates are simply Markdown files with no metadata so I assume it wouldn’t be straightforward to add this feature.

@laurent that is correct, we could probably introduce a template format that includes tags, but then we might just want to implement [something like this](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/1407)
