Auto Updated ToDo list

[dustov 11]

Is there a way to have self-updating note template?  For example, if you wanted to create a running To Do list that would automatically populate every new note that you created and then when it was updated, by deleting and adding items, would automatically carry those changes on to the next new note that you created by simply clicking the "Create a new note" button?

Each of my tasks is a separate note; my running To Do list is the note list generated by running the current task search

Is there a reason I'd want to automatically populate new notes with this information?
I do populate my daily journal; just dragging from the note list (copy links) to the journal note

I could write a script (Mac) to refresh note content.
Third party Fiterize has an option to refresh Table of Contents entries

Evernote has no way to do this -- Evernote doesn't provide automated services to muck with your note content (aside from OCR, I suppose). Maybe a 3rd party option, per DTLow. One thing: the "Create a new note" button would be a terrible way to achieve this: most people don't have the scenario that every note they create is an automated update of one single note in your note collection. A separate, specific option keyed to the currently selected note, sure, but not via "Create a new note".

I agree, it would be better to have a seperate function, I was just trying to explain the idea of an automated update as simply as possible.  What is DTLow?
