Ability to use {{date}} in Folder Templates

I assume you don't have only daily notes within periodic exclusively, and therefore don't want daily-template.md to be applied to all notes you create within (a subfolder of) periodic?
If so: You can create a "Meta template" and outsource your pattern matching into javascript code within that meta template file. Then include the appropriate template (daily-template.md, monthly-template.md, etc.) based on what the Meta Template matches to.

Simple example that assumes Daily Notes are always named "Daily Note YYYY-MM-DD"

<%*
if (tp.file.title.startsWith("Daily Note")){
  tp.file.include("[[daily-template.md]]")
} else {
  tp.file.include("[[generic-periodic-template.md]]")
}
%>

You can get creative with how to identify the correct template:

• you could get the note's parent folder and match that folder's name to different date formats using string-matching or regex
• You could make use of javascripts date objects and turn folder paths into dates, then select the appropriate template based on that
• you could include a fallback that prompts a user input if no condition was matched and lets the user choose what kind of periodic note it is
• ...

Good Luck :)

Thank you very much, here I understood, that is, it was possible to specify the default template. And it will all work, true slower, but yes okay:

<%*
const folderPath = tp.file.folder(true);

const yearPattern = /(\d{4})y/;
const quarterPattern = /(\d{4}-Q[1-4])/;
const monthPattern = /(\d{4}-\d{2})/;
const weekPattern = /(\d{4}-W\d{2})/;
const dayPattern = /(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})\.md$/;

const isYear = yearPattern.test(folderPath);
const isQuarter = quarterPattern.test(folderPath);
const isMonth = monthPattern.test(folderPath);
const isWeek = weekPattern.test(folderPath);
const isDay = dayPattern.test(folderPath);

if (isDay) {
  tR += await tp.file.include("[[daily-template]]");
} else if (isWeek) {
  tR += await tp.file.include("[[weekly-template]]");
} else if (isMonth) {
  tR += await tp.file.include("[[monthly-template]]");
} else if (isQuarter) {
  tR += await tp.file.include("[[quarterly-template]]");
} else if (isYear) {
  tR += await tp.file.include("[[yearly-template]]");
}
%>
