How to make a template that will create a few objects within it every time

[Code-Jack]

I think it’s the wrong approach.

Make a Collection for your daily Objects.
To click each day on the “New” button shouldn’t be too much work, isn’t it?

Also make a Template for your Weekly-Objects.
Insert an Inline Collection in that Template. Configure the View an it’s filter so that it points to a range in Date of seven days.

I you later create a new Weekly-Object from this Template, you need only to adjust the date range in the Inline-Collection’s filter.

You can store the daily Objects, as well as the weekly Objects, in the Collection you made.
Give them different Tags, or use different Types, so that you can filter for them in two different Views:
– One for the daily Objects.
– One for the weekly Objects.

And a last tipp: don’t use the Creation Date for sorting and filtering. You can’t change it and we have also had fatal bugs with it (I suffer under that) - it isn’t reliable.
Better create your own sorting date relation.

but as I can see I can only add existing objects into a template and they’ll just link every time.

Not fully true, you could display Links as Cards with some content preview in it, see my video in this post:

What's your method to display a lot of an object content in a set/collection?

There is no good solution yet. But I have here something that could help a bit. The idea is, to split the Object into sections that are separate child Objects (that you can give Tags and show in a Set), but to show some of their content (a good part of the description) in the preview of a Card in the parent Object. Unfortunately there is no way to have everything readable in one large Object AND to have the content splited for managing the Blocks in a Set. The parent Object in my Video…
