Hi Curt,
I downloaded the Populate Template script from your page today and have been trying to make it work, but haven't been able to do so. It's so temptingly close.
I also have a sub-folder in my Projects folder named Templates in which I have a project that lists the actions of going to a conference (much like your example in the help document). I have entered all of variables in the notes section then reference them with place holders in the template as suggested (using the appropriate option-\ and option-shitft-\ gullemets).
When I select the project, either from the side bar or from the main window, and then run the script, the script prompts me for the variables. That works fine. A new project is created at the top level of the Projects folder, then it gets squirrelly. The actual names I entered at the prompts do appear in the project title but with the gullemets around them, then they do not replace any of the placeholders in the rest of the project.
I love the idea - any help would be appreciated.
