    Can you have a different date format for meeting notes and daily journal notes? Or do they both use the setting for journal?

    do you have example use cases that you want to accomplish?

    The creation time is newer than the leaf. Which I just realized. I reproduced the behavior, by clicking each node. I MIGHT have done that since I was just playing around. But if I don’t, it looks like it works as I would expect. I will pay attention and open an issue if it happens without me clicking each node. I might put in a feature request to prompt for confirmation to creat a file when navigating a tree.

    so I can just write some code that generates an iframe from a source of truth for a task list, and then I can click to mark items complete

    I wonder if this question got lost or just ignored. But I would like journals to be y.M.D and meeting notes to use the ISO week format

    > I wonder if this question got lost or just ignored we get a lot of questions in this server, sometimes items are missed. we ask that you assume good intent when posting > But I would like journals to be y.M.D and meeting notes to use the ISO week format theres currently no way to configure the meeting note date format. feel free to submit a feature request or create your own using the note traits feature https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/bdZhT3nF8Yz3WDzKp7hqh

    Thanks. I hope my necroing didn’t sound as if I was not assuming good intent. If it did, I apologize as that is something I always try to assume. I was just trying to bring visibility to it again. I will post a feature request since it appears traits are experimental

    Speaking of how questions can get missed when Discord is busy, where is the best place to make suggestions about how todo / task note previews are displayed in the editing and preview panes? Perhaps https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/discussions/1358 , or a different issue? Basically, I wish that the difference between
    [ ]
    and
    [x]
    were rendered visibly in the "hover" preview in the editing pane. Right now, only the bullets for lines with those two statuses are visible, although that hover pane does display a
    [/]
    as plaintext. I also think it would be nice if some details (like status, priority, possibly due date) were displayed at the top of cards for todo notes in the preview pane, perhaps on a line under "From { note title }". It might also be nice if these details also showed up as text decorations in the editing pane when using the
    ![[note]]
    syntax like they do with the
    [[note]]
    syntax. But maybe there are good reasons to stick to only the rendering decorations with one syntax that I don't know about, like code efficiency or intentionally providing users a level of choice for one style vs the other? Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction!

    Hey all! Not sure if this has been answered, but does anyone know if there's a way to have "dynamic" (that might not be the right word) template variables? {{CURRENT_MONTH_NAME_SHORT}} {{CURRENT_DAY}} Stand-Up In my stand-up template, I have that, but I was wondering if there's a way to have the Current Day be yesterday, so I've tried {{CURRENT_DAY}}-1 and {{CURRENT_DAY - 1}} but those didn't work. Thanks in advance. 🙂

    Hi, i've just re-initialize a blank workspace (to start with a new self contained vault) and copied my old notes to this new folder. When running
    Workspace: Sync
    there is a warning/error notification (as below) from Dendron.
    Finished sync. Can't pull or push repo-name, repo-name because of a connection problem. Check your internet connection, repository permissions, and credentials. Committed 1 repo, pulled 0 and pushed 0 repos.
    What should I do to make this
    Workspace: Sync
    working again? I'm on Win 10. I have tried to
    ssh-add
    to add the ssh key, the key then has been added. I can manually commit, push via terminal. The url of origin is currently pointed at
    git@github.com:my-username/repo-name.git
    . However, I need to type the passphrase for ssh key whenever i run
    git push -u origin main
    . And the
    Workspace: Sync
    always give a error/warning notification

    that would be it - the native sync command is non-interactive which means that push needs to not have a prompt. you can either use a ssh key without a passphrase or use a ssh-agent to fill in the passkey for you

    so I have to use the terminal instead of workspace sync command as previously? Do you have any idea how to make the command sync work again? any change in dendron.yml? I also tried to add this script as Github said, with the expectation to not repeat the passphrases. https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/working-with-ssh-key-passphrases

    Hmmmm I usually have a hierarchy that is something like this:
    Copy code
    root # includes ![[root.foo]]
    ↳root.foo # includes ![[root.foo.bar]], ![[root.foo.baz]], ...
     ↳root.foo.bar
     ↳root.foo.baz
    Now I learned that I could do
    ![[root.foo.*]]
    but that includes everything in that hierarchy. Is there a way to specify only direct children? Something along the lines of
    ![[root.foo.*]]
    includes direct children (up to the next
    .
    ) and
    ![[root.foo.**]]
    would include all children?

    When I put @person-name in a meeting note and then ctrl-enter it creates an entry user.person-name in the current vault. Is there any way to configure the "user" part? Is there any way to configure sending it to a different vault?

    I don't use self contained vaults but your description sounds as if git inside vscode isn't aware of ssh. What ssh implementation do you use? You may need to set the GIT_SSH environment variable. My config is described here https://mstempl.netlify.app/post/ssh-agent-windows/ maybe that helps?

    though it still require my passphrase whenever I push. These are the various steps that I applied - I tried to add GIT_SSH pointed to
    /windows/system32/openssh/ssh.exe
    - I tried
    Start-Service ssh-agent
    then
    Set-Service ssh-agent -StartupType Automatic
    then
    ssh-add C:\Users\my_user\ssh\id_ed25519
    - with
    ssh-add -l
    I found that there is only 1 key registered and this only key is added into my GitHub account - I tried this [guide](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/working-with-ssh-key-passphrases) which add a snippet into
    C:\Users\my_user\.profile
    Will deleting the vault, then delete the repo in GitHub. Recreate a new repo. Re-initialize a new dendron vault. then git init, commit, push will make the passphrase becoming not required to be re-typed?

    ok. I need to use Git Bash, on Win 10. It prompts to enter the passphrase once only. Then I can use git push without reentering the passphrase. The Workspace: Sync works as expected from now.

    When trying to convert a local vault to a remote using
    Dendron: Vault Convert
    , the command failed with this error notification as follows. Anyone has any idea why?
    error while running command: Command failed with exit code 129: git --cached -r -- . unknown option: --cached usage: git [--version] [--help] [-C <path>] [-c <name>=<value>] [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path] [-p | --paginate | -P | --no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare] [--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>] [--namespace=<name>] [--super-prefix=<path>] [--config-env=<name>=<envvar>] <command> [<args>]

    DAAAANG! I realllly like the concept here. Hm...for at-a-glance, whats-next type of tracking, this is reallly cool. I tend to write about what I'm doing (tests, CYA's, lessons learned, procedures, etc.) while i'm working through my day. I end up with a series of "context-shifts" comprising my day. Each block starts out as a snippet with things like
    description
    ,
    start time
    ,
    end time
    ,
    duration
    and
    notes
    . I noticed the link to
    backlog
    at the end of the time tracking table. I wonder if this is where longer text is collected for each task.
