I followed [this tip](https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam/wiki/User-contributed-Tricks#timestamp-on-save-alanz) to have timestamps (of the inbuilt in emacs type) auto-inserted and updated on my notes.

However, now the time stamps (e.g. Time-stamp: “2024-04-26 22:47:41”) are included on the` *org-roam*` buffer, along with the rest of the note.

Is it somehow possible to hide them?

I think I might have a workaround, which is to comment out timestamps, e.g.:

```auto
(setq org-roam-capture-templates
	'(("d" "default" plain "%?" :target
	   (file+head "%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}.org"
		          "#+title: ${title}\n# Time-stamp: <>\n")
	   :unnarrowed t)))

```
