I think you can’t have a list of values for a date
or date/time
type of key
…
Your modified
key should probably be set to list (as there are multiple values) instead of date
(which accepts only one date)
Edit: Because this got me curious
…
After some testing, if you actually set the modified
key to date & time
, you’ll see that the 2nd date in the list is interpreted as the beginning of the time part…

Test
Results in this in Live Preview (from the Sandbox Vault):
So the 2nd date seems to be “merged” with the 1st date…
Which could partially explain why clicking on the Daily Note link icon fails: The value within the the YAML isn’t really read as a date but as a somewhat strange looking/a bit malformed date/time (At least, this is how I interpret it … and I could be completely wrong
)
There could still be a bug in all this, imho: Properties
should be able to see and inform you, through the “type mismatch” warning icon, that the type of key used (date
) isn’t the right one, I think
…
That is, if my assumption about the date
and date & time
types of key is correct: Only one date is allowed (expected to work properly) in a date
type of key, only one date/time is allowed (expected to work properly) in a date & time
type of key and any keys meant to store multiple values should be set to list
.
Copying & pasting in a note without any YAML/Properties, in Source mode, the bits of markdown I shared here (above) and then switching to Live Preview, Properties
automatically reads and parse the modified
key as a List
(which is what I expected) … But then setting that same key from Properties
to date
or date & time
doesn’t seem to trigger the type mismatch
warning either
(like it does for any other types of key: text
, number
, etc…) …
