Steps to reproduce
after new year. 2 weeks have passed while updating and organizing my notes i realised dates of creation does not math to dates that are created.
How i figured it out.
within my notes each note has a date value that is how i organize them and mostly they are created in that date(daily note)
for a default note i also have an auto insert of that date
---
Id: <% tp.date.now("YYYYMMDDHHmmss") %>
date: <% tp.date.now("YYYY_MM_DD") %>
Type:
Last Update: <% tp.date.now("YYYY_MM_DD HH:mm") %>
---
# <% tp.file.title %>
<% tp.file.cursor() %>
my pc date is correct it is now showcasing 2026_01_15
Example created note just a moment ago
this issue does not seem to be replicating itself on the basic daily note creator
---
Date: <% tp.file.creation_date() %>
Id: <% tp.date.now("YYYYMMDDHHmmss") %>
Type:
- Daily_Note
---
<< [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY_MM_DD", -1) %>]] | [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY_MM_DD", 1) %>]] >>
<%*
let title = tp.file.title
tR += "[[1_Me/InnerLog/"+"InnerLog_" + title + "]]"
%>
# <% tp.file.title %>
i would have assumed that the formatting is diffrent thus causes issue
since one gets file.creation.date and the other inputs the date
but this is being replicated on the id (Which is generated by date now)
# Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
- restarted pc
- connected pc to vpn
- tested it on other templates
- plugins doesn’t change it
- restricted mode i couldn’t test since i need a new day to test it out and templater script is a plugin
Expected result
Excpected result like in daily note is to get that date and time
Date: 2026-01-15 16:05
Id: 20260115160547
Actual result
Id: 20251208114438
date: 2025_12_08

Additional information
it started after the new update
as i check back i cannot find any note that had this issue within the first week of this new year
i am %99 sure it will get fixed if i revert an update but i really don’t want to reinstall this thing. it took me so long to setup it with a github and all the plugin extension in this pc .
