{var:date} format and customizations

My system date formats have a custom format to show 3 letter day in the medium format:

Output from Alfred on the script. Date for filename isn't formatted to my custom {date:medium} [11:51:54.709] Obsidian Utilities[Keyword] Processing complete [11:51:54.713] Obsidian Utilities[Keyword] Passing output 'example add to daily note' to Arg and Vars [11:51:54.714] Obsidian Utilities[Arg and Vars] Processing complete [11:51:54.714] Obsidian Utilities[Arg and Vars] Passing output 'example add to daily note' to Conditional [11:51:54.715] Obsidian Utilities[Conditional] Processing complete [11:51:54.715] Obsidian Utilities[Conditional] Passing output 'example add to daily note' to Write Text File [11:51:54.716] Obsidian Utilities[Write Text File] Processing complete [11:51:54.716] Obsidian Utilities[Write Text File] Passing output '/Users/jp5273/Documents/git/jp5273/Notebook/daily_notes/2021-01-22.md' to Open URL [11:51:54.743] Obsidian Utilities[Keyword] Passing output 'example add to daily note' to Run Script

The date format for the filename coming through the log is "yyyy-mm-dd.md". I think Alfred uses date:medium, but somehow it is not.

This is how it turns out within Obsidian:

Is there a way to set this in variables? how is that done?

There's an Args and Vars module right after the keyword. The format for the date variable is defined there. So, if you change the date value to {date:medium}, it should work.

Excellent! Thank you, again! This worked once I found the Args and Var module. I had been trying to change it in the "Append to file" module.
