Additional information
Workaround: The file daily-notes.json includes the line ‘“template”: “”’. Deleting this line fixes the issue. Generating a daily note through the command always produces expected behavior, it is only the automatic daily note generated on startup that has this issue.
Maybe the daily note being opened on startup is not properly checking whether the field is empty and is resolving to a cached or random file.
