Bug Report: Incorrect Date Parsing in Unique Note Prefix Format
Steps to Reproduce
- Set the note prefix format to “
(YY.MM.DD)”.
- Use a hotkey (in this context,
cmd+U) to create a unique note. The current date is March 15, 2024.
Troubleshooting Attempted
- Followed the troubleshooting guide available at: Obsidian Forum - Troubleshooting Guide
- Troubleshooting Outcome: Yes
Expected Behavior
- The note’s date prefix should be “24.03.15”, aligning with the specified format “ (YY.MM.DD)”.
- Alternatively, if this is due to some overly rigid uniqueness rules (in my case, I’m 100% sure there are no other notes with the same name) that increment the day, it should be clearly explained and stated, as the current behavior is confusing.
Actual Behavior
- The generated note’s date prefix is “24.03.23”, which does not match the expected date format.
