Yes. Is the demo vault the link from the dropbox? I found this link under the video description Obsidian Community Talks - managing multiple journals.
I downloaded it several times…but everytime when I used quickadd, this message appears
Hmmm, weird. It’s also a little strange that the folder for the vault also appears in the file explorer, I don’t think it should 
. It should only really show 00 Technical and 10 BuJo and have the whole color scheme loaded in once safemode is off. If that isn’t the cause of the issues, I’m unfortunately at a loss for why it doesn’t work for you 
.
YESSSSS!!! Now it is working!!!
I think I did something wrong with the zip.file or something.
Now EVERYTHING is already installed (Community Plugin)
In the above previous situation I had to install all the Plugins!!!
THANK YOU for answering and helping me.
I am really enjoying this BujoSetup.

Thanks for the downloadable example, it’s been very helpful in understanding everything going on as I’ve been developing my own version. Something I just ran into that perhaps you can help me with is that I started a new vault and I’m confused about what is allowing the dv = this.Area or whatever to be shown correctly in preview mode. I’m not sure which plug-in is changing it in preview mode. Thanks.
Edit: I found it for anyone who is wondering it’s the inline queries options under DataView. Now to figure out how to do multiword keys.
Sorry for the necro but I’ve gone down this rabbit hole after finding your journal setup.
I really wanted to cannibalize how you set up QuickAdd to create a folder for the year and place the template file output into said folder.
Well, I had the same problem one of the above users had with the error:
QuickAdd: (ERROR) Could not create file with template. Maybe 'PATH-TO-TEMPLATE' is an invalid template path?
I discovered that it has to do with QuickAdd not properly parsing file paths. This happens ANY time you put a forward slash into the file name. Remove the forward slash and the template works and the file is made, so it’s not a problem with the template path itself.
Additionally, you cannot put formatted variables into the directory path as a workaround, as QuickAdd will not run those actions (or even return an error, it just does nothing, even when hotkeyed).
So I’m wondering if you setup still works? I’ve tried on both Windows and iOS so perhaps it has to do with the latest version of Obsidian?
I put in an issue on QuickAdd’s repo but I’m still trying to figure it out rather than wait. Any input would be appreciated.
I just really want to automatically place files into date formatted folders without having to make the folders beforehand

You are right. I had the same problem and solved it by removing every forward slash in the template path. Thanks.
