fix(capture): say Create new note in the one-page Capture to field

[chhoumann]

With Create file if it doesn't exist on, a new name typed in the one-page Capture to field is now offered as Create new note: name with the file-plus icon, as in the run's Capture to picker. Before, the row read Use “name” / Custom value, which didn't say that a note would be created. A picked new name's chip tooltip says New note instead of Custom value. {{FILE:...|custom}} fields keep Use “name”, since their custom value is only text.

Obsidian 1.13.7, a Capture to People/ with one-page input on and Create file if it doesn't exist, Ad typed in the field.

How

FilePickerInputSuggest's last argument, the names a note already has, is only passed for a one-page Capture to (#2101). It is now named newNoteExists, and when it is set the custom row is rendered as the modal's create row: one line and a file-plus flair in suggestion-aux. The row stays first, as in the run's picker. The one-page docs say Create new note: name.

Tests

• FilePickerInputSuggest.test.ts: a new name reads Create new note: Niobe, has no second line and has the flair. It fails on master (Use “Niobe”).
• tests/e2e/one-page-capture-target.test.ts now expects the new label for folder, tag and property scopes.
• pnpm run build-with-lint, pnpm run test (6602 passed), .agents/run-e2e (396 passed, 24 Templater-only skipped).

Release / migration

None. #2101 is unreleased.

Fixes #2117

Note

Show "Create new note" label in one-page Capture file picker

• FilePickerInputSuggest now renders a typed value as a "Create new note: name" option with a file-plus icon and no path row, matching the run picker's presentation.
• A new-note existence check controls duplicate suppression; without it, the generic custom-value rendering remains.
• OnePageFieldRenderer marks stored custom values for new-note fields as new-note options, and docs/e2e expectations are updated to the new label.
• Risk: consumers relying on the prior generic custom-value wording in suggestions should check renderSuggestion in FilePickerInputSuggest.ts.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • When entering a name that doesn’t match an existing note, the capture-target picker now labels the option Create new note: [name] and displays a file-plus icon to distinguish it from other custom values.
  • Names that already match an available note are no longer offered as options to create another note.
  • Newly created note options are identified as notes in the picker.
• Documentation
  • Updated the capture-target guide to match the picker’s wording.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The one-page capture-target picker labels eligible custom file options “Create new note: …” when a new-note callback is provided. The renderer assigns those options a “New note” path. Related documentation and tests use the updated label.

Changes

One-page capture target picker

Layer / File(s)	Summary
New-note custom option src/gui/suggesters/FilePickerInputSuggest.ts, src/gui/suggesters/FilePickerInputSuggest.test.ts	The suggester replaces valueExists with newNoteExists. When the callback is provided, eligible custom options use the “Create new note: …” label and file-plus styling. The test covers rendering, including the label, flair icon, and absent path.
One-page integration src/preflight/OnePageFieldRenderer.ts, tests/e2e/one-page-capture-target.test.ts, docs/src/content/docs/docs/Advanced/onePageInputs.md	The renderer uses “New note” as the custom option path when a new-note name is present. The end-to-end assertions and documentation use the updated label.
