Templater Clobbering Existing Notes about templater HOT 2 OPEN

Hmm. I've been trying to figure out how Sync might be involved.

The fact that it seems to have started months after I started using Sync seems to make it unlikely that it is just Sync itself, something probably happened in late August that created the issue.

The problem with #1096 is that these aren't new files some of them had been in the vault for months. Looking at my git history there's no correlation between when a file is created, moved, or renamed and when its contents are clobbered.

So unless Sync is just randomly re-creating files during a transfer (maybe because of like an atomic file update??) I'm struggling to figure out how it would create an empty file that is then populated by Templater on a remove machine and subsequently the newer file then transfers back. Particularity for files that aren't actively open on a remote machine. No amount of templates disabling Sync would fix that because a template shouldn't be running at all, right?

Plus that issue popped up 6 months before this one did, so I'm not sure. There could still be related under the hood, but I suspect they're different.

In the meantime I'll disable Templater on my phone and secondary devices and see if it occurs again.

Also, for posterity, even though I'm using Obsidian Git I am only using it locally, not for syncing. So it's not creating any conflicts with Obsidian Sync or anything.

May be related to #1096, see discussion there for potential workarounds and why this would be hard to fix on the Templater side.
