Journal Entry Script Inserts Wrong File Name (eg. Note 12a742c7-e7e8-4e88-95ee-cca2ecb0b274)

[patrickbolle]

Script name

Journal entry

Expected behaviour

I believe the intent of the script is to create a new note in a specified folder with the default file name of:
"Journal " + m.getFullYear() + ("0" + (m.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2) + ("0" + m.getDate()).slice(-2);

eg. Journal 20210919

Actual behaviour

What happens when I click the New Journal Entry button in the Qownnotes interface is, a new journal file is created, but without the "Journal 20210919" name.

Instead, a new note is created with the file name of:
Note 12a742c7-e7e8-4e88-95ee-cca2ecb0b274

etc. etc.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Journal Entry script
2. Use New Journal Entry button
3. See new journal created with your template, in proper directory, but with the wrong name.

@sanderboom

@patrickbolle, you didn't share your settings. Are you using the settings where you can change the filename of the notes?

Seems like this script lacks what I did in 6fa8cf0.

[pbek]

@patrickbolle, I blindly tried to fix your issue. Can you please test the new version of the script.

[pbek]

I will close this issue until there is more information.

[sanderboom]

It's always been like this for me:

• click the new journal entry button
• a note with hash shows up
• after 1-2 seconds the name is changed to the right name

[pbek]

@sanderboom, are you using the allowDifferentNoteFileName setting for your note folder?

[sanderboom]

@sanderboom, are you using the allowDifferentNoteFileName setting for your note folder?

Ah, I see it now - so probably this is the reason/difference ✔️

[pbek]

Yes, it is. 😅

[pbek]

The current version of the script should be able to handle this.

I guess this can be closed?
