Wildcard for notes titles

[ze-kel]

Wildcard matching for people who use something like "YYYY.MM.DD — NOTENAME". In that case I imagine something like "YYYY.MM.DD — *".

I'll also like to support this feature request. For me, the use case is related to the weekly notes, which I had formatted so far as 2020-W48. At the moment I can't specify that "extra" W as it's being used also by moment to format the date.

Edit: It turns out that for my case, the default value was what I needed.

@ze-kel Hi, thanks for the feature request!

If I understand this request correctly, you're interested in adding a unique note name at the end of the filename. For example: 2020-12-31 - New Years Eve. To handle this, I will likely make the rules to find the daily note more lax (related: #40)

But just for completeness, here are some potentially similar things you can do now:

Alternatives

Static text inside the formatted text

If you're just interested in adding static text within the formatted value, you can do so by adding [text in brackets] and the formatter will ignore it. For example, YYYY-MM-DD - [Daily Note] or YYYY-[W]ww as the weekly notes example.

Aliasing

Coming in the next version of Obsidian, you could just keep the note name as YYYY-MM-DD but add a note alias.

For example:

filename: 2020-12-21
alias: "New Year's Eve 2020"

I use daily notes for my meeting notes, so I can separate them off from my main vault notes. I often have multiple meetings on a single day. I prefer to have the meeting notes in a separate file, but then they don't show up in the calendar.

So therefore I too would like to have the possibility to define a format that is based on a date format followed by some kind of wildcard indicator.
On that topic, I would love to be able to set that the dots represent the number of notes on that day, not just an indication of the number of words.

Yes Please!

This would be great to have, I do a title type format on my daily notes so having it match "YYYY-MM-DD - {Some variable length text here}" would be great so I can add title at any time would be very nice.

Hello there.
How did it end up with this feature request or workaround for it?

I would love to be able to set that the dots represent the number of notes on that day, not just an indication of the number of words.

Would be great to have this feature.

And also, by clicking on a specific day in the calendar, it's better to have a menu to choose which daily note to open.

I too wanted to bump this feature request - in the 2.0.0 beta release it was put in the list of solved feature requests/bugs with the note "Using the zettel source" but I still don't see where to enable this functionality

(also realize that this feature request is still marked as open so perhaps it has not been fully implemented yet haha)

Thanks!

Ah I think I see what might be happening - I currently use two different formats for my notes; the Zettelkasten ID format YYYYMMDDHHMM for atomic notes and the format YYYY-MM-DD [OPTIONAL_TITLE] for daily notes (which I keep stored in a separate folder which I point the Periodic Notes plugin to)

It seems that zettle ID'd notes and notes in the format YYYY-MM-DD with no title are detected, but those with the optional title that I like to add do not get detected

@liamcain to your suggestion of using [static text] - Obsidian warning about links disabled when using [brackets]

And as a result - in Graph view, which is quite dismal an useless with dates only - that daily note becomes orphaned

[flavinsh]

Any news ?

I also encounter the same problem and would like to add a wildcard, allowing Daily Notes to be formatted YYYY-MM-DD by default and optionally add a suffix to filename, e.g. 2023-09-24 Meeting with John Doe.

Currently is that Dailly Notes containing a suffix are not recognized Obsidian Calendar.
Which misses the point of the Calendar extension.

Any help would be greatly appreciated ;)
