Describe the Issue
I used the Metabind button maker via the command menu (ctrl + p), Open button builder and after copying the builder results to clipboard and attempting to paste as a button template using the Add Template from Clipboard, I get the error:
YAMLParseError: Implicit keys need to be on a single line at line 1, column 1
The offending code, according to the warning, is:
```meta-bind-button ^
Steps to Reproduce
I do not know what, if any of the provided data in the button fields, could be causing this issue. However, here are steps I know work to create the issue.
Use ctrl + p to bring up the command palette.
Type button to get the button builder command to show up and select it.
Add anything as the label, I used Part Lookup.
Set the style to primary.
Set the tooltip to anything, I used Find LEGO parts based on multiple criteria..
Set the id to whatever, I set mine to button-part-lookup.
Leave the hidden toggle off.
Select the runTemplaterFile action and select a template found within your Templater templates folder, mine doesn't do anything currently (just setting this vault up).
Click the button Copy to clipboard.
Open the Obsidian Settings and go to the plugin settings for Meta Bind.
Click the Edit templates button for Button templates.
Choose the Add Template from Clipboard button.
Receive error.
Expected Behavior
The button content used to be pasted into a new button template and show in the Meta Bind Button Templates list.
