Do not use "yyyyMMDD" for the date format of the "Diary" plugin.

I don't use the diary plugin.

But I should have come back and indicated that after a while there was a new version of Obsidian out with a new Installer and after doing that re-install the bug is gone and I do get my proper template and file created.

The "Diary" plugin is the core plugin that comes with Obsidian. I had the same problem as you, then I changed the date format of the "Diary" plugin, and the problem didn't occur anymore. Sorry, I'm a Chinese user and I use Chinese.

Ah, on my system it's called daily notes and I never had that as my date format anyway. Mine looks like this

Uh-huh. I mean, you could try changing your date format until the plugin can create or recognize the journal file properly. The reason? I checked the history of issue submissions and realized that the developer has not responded to this issue - which implies that, in the short term, the developer won't be able to resolve this issue for you.

The developer doesn't have to respond. The issue is gone, done fixed. My solution was described in the message you responded to. If youa re still having problems with the date formats then I suggest you re-install Obsidian using a new Installer version like I did and see if that fixes it for you.
