[FEATURE REQUEST] Reuse VDATE value with differ formating

[dariuszkowalski-com]

I want to create a note in a folder structure:

• YYYY
  • MM
    • DD FILE-YYYY-MM-DD.md

During a creation process I need only enter DATE ones, then I need to use this with many forms: {{VDATE:data,YYYY}} - for first level of folders {{VDATE:data,MM}} - for second {{VDATE:data:DD}} - for last {{VDATE:data:YYYY-MM-DD}} - for a file name

Now, 'data' is fixed and is formatted as a first usage. To solve it I need to ask about Year, Month, Day In this scenario, I can't use a natural language like (next week)

Any news on that? I also like the idea of re-using the date. Then, for example, the filename could be defined as Meeting - {{VDATE:Date, YYYY-MM-DD}}.md, and in the template, the VDATE variable Date could be re-used with a different formatting, e.g. {{VDATE:Date, dddd, YYYY-MM-DD}}.

+1 for it, really useful for having task added to daily note as in:

daily/{{VDATE:date, gggg}}/{{VDATE:date, gggg-MM-DD}}.md

{{VALUE:task}} {{VALUE:,🔼,⏫,🔺,🔽,⏬️}} 📅 {{VDATE:date, gggg-MM-DD}}

Definitely +1 here!

Thank you

[josephtribulat]

yes please! 🙏 I seldom need the same date format in both the filename and the note's body.

+1 again! @chhoumann any update on whether you intend to implement this? Any suggestions for a workaround? Thanks!

Not sure Christian is paying attention here, but here's my use case. I have irregularly recurring (pretty complex) project for which I'd use a template and adjust a few things here and there. One of my big pain points is that I have to manually put in due dates every time. But since the due dates are always a function of the project end date (Task 1 due 10 days out, Task 2 due 7 days out, etc etc), there really ought to be a programmatic way to automate this based on the VDATE I set while instantiating the template. I'm sure there's a Javascript way to do this, but that's not in my range of abilities. Any suggestions?
