There’s tons of “Daily notes” files in my vault that are exported from Roam. I’ve configured the daily notes syntax to match roam’s formatting (e.g. “April 14th, 2020”).

I thought flatpak’s sandboxing might be a possible source of the error, so I tried the AppImage and the bug persisted. I’ve also tried rebooting my computer and opening Obsidian the next day.

I want you to look very carefully at the date format you put and think.

@WhiteNoise thanks for the teachable moment! :slight_smile: Was a simple matter of changing to an uppercase “D”.
