First level title actions
Prefix, suffix, or overwrite the note’s title — the H1 heading immediately after frontmatter (not Obsidian’s separate “inline title” feature; see First level title condition for the distinction).
The action row is: First level title type → modification dropdown (Add prefix / Add suffix / Overwrite to) → text field.
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Add prefix | Prepends text to the title. Requires an existing H1 — silently skipped if the note has none. |
| Add suffix | Appends text to the title. Requires an existing H1 — silently skipped if the note has none. |
| Overwrite to | Replaces the title entirely. Works even with no H1 yet — inserts one right after the frontmatter (or at the top of the note). |
Add prefix
THEN First level title: Add prefix → "[ARCHIVED] "
Result: [ARCHIVED] Original Title.
Add suffix
THEN First level title: Add suffix → " - {{date}}"
Result: Original Title - 2026-08-23.
Add prefix and Add suffix require an H1 to already exist. If the note has no H1 immediately after frontmatter, these two are silently skipped — nothing is added. Use Overwrite to if you want to create a title where none exists yet.
Overwrite to
THEN First level title: Overwrite to → "{{date:YYYY-MM-DD}} - {{title}}"
Result: 2026-01-08 - team-sync.
Unlike Add prefix/Add suffix, Overwrite to works even when the note has no H1 yet — it inserts one right after the frontmatter (or at the top of the note, if there’s no frontmatter either).
Placeholders
All three accept the full Placeholders set — dates, time, filename, frontmatter properties, and regex captures via {{match}}.
