Caution against using the metadata editor when editing templates with template variables #1027
Description
Currently using/editing the Properties in document (metadata editor) doesn't play well using unquoted template variables. The example "study notes" template (https://help.obsidian.md/plugins/templates#Create+a+template) has quotes around {{date}}, which is good, but it's not mentioned they are necessary if you use the metadata editor. e.g. Take this template note:
---
title: {{title}}
title_quoted: "{{title}}"
date: {{date}}
date_quoted: "{{date}}"
time: {{time}}
time_quoted: "{{time}}"
tags:
- testing
---
## {{title}}
If one interacts with the metadata editor in any way (in Live Preview or Reading view), the unquoted variables will become corrupted and unusable with applying the template to a note.
What is your suggestion?
Caution users, maybe in a
> [!warning] _Template variables_ and the _Properties in document_ view
> We suggest you switch to [_Source mode_](https://help.obsidian.md/edit-and-read#Source+mode) or change the [_Properties in document_](https://help.obsidian.md/settings#Properties+in+document) setting to `Source` when creating or editing templates containing template variables (`{{date}}`, `{{time}}` and `{{title}}`). Unquoted variables can lead to template corruption.
Maybe too wordy, but it's a start.
