Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I have a subscription with a monthly charge that is canceled and will end in February.

Currently I have a template for this monthly charge: #template 20

If I forget to remove this line when the subscription ends, it will keep adding the 20 € and I might not realize it.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Templates get a new ending modifier:

#template 20 ending 2025-02

Teaching and learning

Add another line to the template docs table.

Users might end up with a lot of "dead" template lines if they don't check their templates regularly. A warning could be added to the "check template" function that tells the user about already ended templates.

@jfdoming thanks! Looks like we don't need a new feature then.
