FR: Customizable Timestamp Format

[greetclammy]

Problem

The current timestamp format for "created date" and "last updated date" fields is too large and adds unnecessary clutter. It’s distracting, and there’s no way to customize it to make it fit better with the rest of my notes.

Idea

Add an option to set custom formats for these timestamps using Moment.js. I’d like to use a more compact format that doesn’t take up as much space. If it’s possible, it’d be great to apply this customizable format to any frontmatter keys that are set as "date & time" types too. This would make things look cleaner and more consistent across my notes.

The logs, like the developer console? Can you screenshot what you mean?

I am not sure, if my request is the same as the original post.

e.g. For me the

Updated Date 2024/11/05, would it be possible to customize the Updated Date like
Updated Date 05 Nov or 05 Nov 24 instead

I have reworded the post. Please disregard the original version.

Got it, thanks.

What I'm thinking at the moment is there could be a text box under "Advanced options" to let you put in a date string in Moment.js format. It would default to YYYY/MM/DD, which is what the app currently uses.

Would that meet your needs?

Yep, just what the doctored ordered!
