Foam ignores "foam.openDailyNote.titleFormat": "yyyy-mm-dd"

[jonasdiemer]

• Foam version: 0.13.7
• Platform: Mac
• Issue occur on the foam template repo: Yes

Summary
Changes in "foam.openDailyNote.titleFormat" are ignored, Daily notes title is always shown as "dddd, mmmm dS, yyyy".

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Preferences, Foam > Open Daily Note: Title Format; Click "Edit in settings.json"
2. Change format to e.g. "yyyy-mm-dd"
3. Open new daily note (via keyboard shortcut)
4. Observe that title format is still like # Monday, June 21, 2021

Interestingly, I was able to reproduce this, but only in some scenarios...

My config:

  "foam.openDailyNote.directory": "/Users/michael.overmeyer/src/github.com/movermeyer/foam-data/journal",
  "foam.openDailyNote.titleFormat": "yyyy-mm-dd",

When I have /Users/michael.overmeyer/src/github.com/movermeyer/foam-data opened as a workspace, and run Foam: Open Daily Note, then it opens a new note with the title # Monday, June 21, 2021, as described in the bug report.

If however, I have a different workspace open, and run Foam: Open Daily Note, the correct title is used: # 2021-06-21

Seems there is something going on with Foam's ability to find the VSCode settings???

I was unable to reproduce, could you provide more information?

I think this may have something todo with different config files in vscode.

There are 3 config files in the user directory, workspace directory, and current directory.

See if the workspace settings file workspace.code-workspace also has a config item for foam.openDailyNote.titleFormat.

I can reproduce this by changing workspace.code-workspace .

Thanks, @RobinKing - I indeed overlooked the setting in the workspace config.
