The {{date}} field is not parsed when Obsidian auto-creates a daily note from my daily_template. However, when I insert that same template into a blank note manually, the {{date}} field is read and parsed correctly.
Sample template:
Daily Planner {{date}}
Meetings
Tasks
Extras
Overdue
due before {{date}}
not done
Steps to reproduce
- Click open today’s daily note from the left side panel.
- Daily note shows up with unparsed {{date}} fields.
- Select and delete all contents from the daily note
- Select, insert template from the side-bar: {{date}} is now converted correctly.
Addendum
Creating notes directly by clicking into @liam’s Calendar plugin works seamlessly.
