iOS app does not respect "Default location for new notes: Same folder as current file" setting

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a new vault
  2. Go to Settings > Files and links > Default location for new notes > Select ‘Same folder as current file’
  3. Exit Settings
  4. Create a new note (Note 1), and put it in the folder.
  5. Create a folder, ‘Test folder’
  6. Move ‘Note 1’ to ‘Test folder’.
  7. While ‘Note 1’ is open, press ‘+’ to create a new note called ‘Note 2’ (can also be done from the vault notes list screen, happens either way).
  8. Go back to vault list. New, ‘Note 2’ appears in root of vault

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Sandbox not available on mobile, but I created a brand new vault to test it. Thrice!

Expected result

Expected the new note, ‘Note 2’, to be placed within ‘Test folder’ that the currently viewed note, ‘Note 1’, is in.

Actual result

The new note, ‘Note 2’, is placed within the root vault.
