If you choose Markdown, it prompt for the content/text. I want this second prompt to quickly enter the content/text into a Markdown document. I don’t need the first prompt for type. I always want a Markdown document.

If I don’t prompt for Type and use Create Markdown document (as below), I will not get the second prompt for content/text, which is crucial in my workflow. It is very easy to capture quick notes.

So, I was wondering is there a way that I can just get the second prompt (content/text) without the first prompt (type)?

I’m not sure why you even have the first prompt but you can accomplish all those actions in one action…
