Additional information

Obviously I was not just creating a property to show the week, but using this function to find files with tags. My plugin creates the proper tag for this week (2026-W01), but bases can’t find them.

Online sites confirm that this week should be 2026-W01.

This is not a bug. You should not use YYYY for this case.

You should use the “Week Year (ISO)” MomentJS token (i.e.: GGGG) when dealing with ISO weeks as opposed to the “Year” token (i.e.: YYYY) :blush: …
Otherwise, yes you can run into “inconsistencies”…

In other words, you formula should be:

now().format("GGGG-[W]WW")

Same goes if you prefer to use localized “Week Year”… You should then use gggg, as in gggg-[w]ww…
