YYYY-MM-DD format works fine.

Maybe that’s a stupid question but why would you need the slash / before YYYY-MM-DD in your date formatting ? :thinking:

I can reproduce this behavior though :blush:

I don’t need the slash, but bug related to it caused me losing 1h of my time trying to debug it and pinpoint a cause of duplicating daily notes
