I have a Capture with the following settings:
GLOBAL
Template Folder Path: meta/quick-capture-templates
CAPTURE
File path: 0inbox/quick-capture/{{VALUE:AUFIRST}}-{{VALUE:AULAST}}-{{VALUE:SOURCE}}-{{date}}
Preview: 0inbox/quick-capture/AUFIRST_example-AULAST_example-SOURCE_example-2025-10-11
Create file if it doesn't exist: Y
Create file with given template: meta/quick-capture-templates/quick-capture.md
Open Captured File: Y
Open in New Pane: Y
One Page Override Input: Follow Global Settings

But when I submit that form I then get this popup for input.
Why? Can I prevent that? If I ignore it, things work fine. If I put anything in there, it goes at the very top of the new file, which is no good.
I know there's probably a better way to do this (I'm no programmer!) and I'd love to hear it.
For reference, here's the template:
Thanks in advance!
