An option to customize the note id about md-roam HOT 3 CLOSED

If you are Org version 9.5, you can customize org-id-method to time stamp.

I do this: org-id-method' is set to 'ts (time stamp). And use org-roam-capture-templates like this:

          ("p" "personal Markdown" plain ""
           :target
           (file+head "personal/${id}.md"
                      "---\ntitle: ${title}\nid: ${id}\ncategory: %^{Category|#reference|#creation|#index|#meeting}\nmodified: <>\n---\n")
           :unnarrowed t)

ID is just a plain text, so if you are not on version 9.5, you can use format-time-string. I think in this case you might like to also add something in capture-finalize hook to call org-id-add-location for the ID and markdown file.

Ah brilliant. I didn't realize I can put id: ${id} in the capture template, I was stuck on thinking in terms of the % syntax.
