[Bug] scratchpad_append_prefix doesn't pass datetime placeholder

[joshsarvesh]

Feature Requested

I'm on version 3.5.3.

Bug Description At the moment I setup the workflow for my first vault, appending a text to scratchpad fails to write datetime prefix specified in scratchpad_append_prefix with a value "- {date:yyyy-MM-dd}, {time:HH:mm} ".

Result in the scratchpad file looks like:

• ({date:yyyy-MM-dd}, {time:HH:mm}) via oo, while debugging

Checklist

• [X] Feature Requests regarding daily notes unfortunately will not be implemented, since I do not use daily notes myself and there are other Alfred workflows that do focus on daily notes already.
• [X] The feature would be useful to more users than just me.
• [X] I have checked the feature overview and the feature doesn't already exist.
• [X] If it is an entirely new feature: The requested feature makes more sense to be implemented in Alfred than in a plugin (please also explain why).

Sorry, a previous version removed support for the dynamic placeholders from Alfred, since a necessary restructuring of the code made it infeasible to support Alfred placeholders. Unfortunately, it would require an disproportionate amount of time to re-implement the feature, so it is dropped for now. Again, sorry!

I only forgot to remove it from the settings, which has been fixed in the latest release.
