GeoKen Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Is it possible to have a template for the cache note section like the log template. I like to preference my cache note with a date and time stamp. I see the log note supports this but I don't see it for the cache note.

0 Nic Hubbard Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 This isn't yet a supported feature. I will make a note of it, but I haven't ever had this request come in from other users, so I am not sure what the demand would be for it.

0 GeoKen Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 One use I use this for is documenting information when working on a field puzzle or a mulit cache that has several stages that can not be completed in a single outing. I record personal notes about previous stages or clues that have been discovered and store them as a personal cache note on GC.com for that cache. This way when I get to back to completing this cache I have all the information stored on GC.com (so I don't loose it on some paper I misplaced) and I know the date and time the previous information was obtained. Also if I get a call for help on a previous stage I can say "on this date this is what I found there". I also use this to document when I solved a puzzle cache as sometimes I can't go out and find it right away. I can look at the person note and know how long it has been since I solved to when I found it. Currently I manually enter the date and time prior to writing the cache note and I think it would be cool if I could use the template feature to insert it for me just like how this feature works for writing a log note.

0 ACME WildCachers Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I can see some value in this as I also like to include the date when I add information to a cache note. However, I suspect that this could not be implemented in exactly the same way as the date keyword could be inserted into a log or template, as I think that pulls from the date set on the pending log entry. Since there is no long entry for a cache note, there's nowhere to pull the date from. That said, I would definitely support an option to quickly enter the current date in the cache note.

0 Nic Hubbard Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I would think a simple insert feature would work here. Such as an option to insert the current date, your username, etc etc. Keywords wouldn't work since they would need to be replaced before synching with geocaching.com.
