Templates for quick "log your visit"
Answered
A long time ago there was a discussion on Geocaching templates for quick logging a geocache (https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/templates-for-quick-log-your-visite).
The proposed solution was to use an addon called FieldNotesPro. The addon does not seem to still exist.
My question: is there a way in Locus to create Templates for geocache logs that can be reused over and over. This is part of all geocaching apps I know of.
Thank you.

Hi Louis,
go to Locus settings > geocaching > pre-fill field notes. Here, you can set the format of the log, add up to 10 variable items to it, and set the time format:
The add-on "FieldNotesPro" was abandoned by its author long ago but we keep its APK in our repo at https://bit.ly/lmVersions.

Thank you for the answer. I know about what you are describing. This is for Personal Cache Notes found on any cache page.
What I am talking about is actual logs. I need predefined logs or snippets of text (including place holders) so that I do not have to re-type the same thing over and over.
For example if I go caching to Montreal for a weekend, I want to write to every log "We are having a lot of fun in our Montreal trip and I am logging this geocache which is number #NUMBER for me. Thank you #CACHE_OWNER for this cache" Then I can add more specific stuff for this cache before or after this template.
Another example is for requesting owner's attention. The template could be "There are problems with your container. Please check the previous log for more information".
Third example. I am doing a power trail and there are 125 caches all the same along the trail. I want to be able to log quickly with a pre-defined log that will always be the same "Thank you for the series of caches. We are having a lovely bicycle excursion".
So what I am looking for is the same functionality as the Field Note, but with multiple entries that I can pick and that will be posted as a log, not a Personal Cache Note.
I hope I am expressing this concept clearly. This functionality is found in C:GEO, GCdroid, GEOOH Go, Cachly, etc.

This pre-fill function in Locus Map doesn't refer to personal notes - it's a setup for a log (or draft, depending on your choice when logging). Of course, you can insert the text "We are having a lot of fun in our Montreal trip and I am logging this geocache which is number #NUMBER for me. Thank you #CACHE_OWNER for this cache" into it. Nevertheless, there is only one pre-fill you can define. Multiple entries are not available.
