Thanks for contributing!

Can you help me understand the use case? I believe tp.file.create_new should work as is when referencing a template file that is of any file type, without having to explicitly define the extension.

This isn't the case, as you can tell from this line that overrides the extension in the newly created note

Only if you're providing a string template, as opposed to providing a file for the template. If you're providing a file then it will use the same extension as the provided file. I've used this for .canvas files in the past. Are you generating a string in code and creating a file using that generated string?

I'm hesitant to add yet another argument to this function if it isn't strictly needed, it has a lot of arguments already, and I don't suspect this argument would be used much since most use cases can already be covered.

My usecase isn't too niche (I believe), I have a script that prompts for a filename and creates a file named "yyyy-mm-dd-filename" (which I'd like to be able to support arbitrary extensions)

To be specific on my usage: I'm simply trying to create a new file with a custom extension from a template script.
