Allow creating button that when clicked, creates a new object with specified template + more

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

Allow to create a “New Object” button. Could be a new Type. This gives the user options for how the new object should be created:
Can select which template it creates
Can automatically fill in certain data/relations/text.

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

I open the / menu and select “New Object Button” or something along those lines
When clicked, it creates a new object of specified type and template

REAL WORLD USE CASES

ON my main to dos list, I can make a button that adds a to do object with a specific template.

Can create journal entries with the date filled out already. etc

You can use set of certain type for this use case. Just customise type you want and create set by this type. For now you can not select preferred template but it will appear in the future also.
So you can use set of type Task or Todo as your todo list.

Yes but also you have to navigate to that set from whichever page you’re on. Would be nice to have the “new item” button in the set view as part of any view you like.

Maybe you could use an internal set as a workaround for now?

Yes I have made aworkaround already, I just link to a set.

Something like this would be perfect, this actually allows me to select the template
