Expected Behaviour

I know it's a small thing! But I much prefer being able to append to my Daily Note with the UI provided in your "Custom Actions": a text area instead of an inline text input. But running Custom Actions "forces" me to then have to choose the Action I want from a list. It's a small thing, but was happy to see that accessing the Action with a QuickLink might work, but only get the error
