Hi @geekuality! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the Trilium team.

This is a confirmed bug in the getJournalNoteTitle() function in date_notes.ts [1]. The root cause: when generating a day note title, the function passes the day number (25) as a single number parameter, and that same value gets used for all numeric placeholders — including {monthNumber}, {weekNumber}, and {shortWeek} [2].

So for 2026-04-25:

• {dateNumber} → 25 ✅
• {monthNumber} → 25 ❌ (should be 4)
• {shortWeek} → W25 ❌ (should be W17)
• {weekDay} → Saturday ✅ (derived from the Dayjs date object, not the number)

The function already receives a full Dayjs date object [3] that contains all the information needed to compute the correct month and week values, but it doesn't use it for those placeholders — it only uses the raw number parameter .

The fix would be to derive {monthNumber} from dateObj.month() + 1 and {weekNumber}/{shortWeek} from the week calculation utilities, rather than reusing the number parameter for all numeric fields.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
