How to bind an input dynamically based on day?

[RomanMunar]

I'm looking to edit today's daily note's frontmatter on another note.

you would need to have templater set the file name of the input field on note creation

i want the date to change automatically to today's date. seems like i would have to use dataviewjs and order the rendering of DV.date & plug it in meta bind. is there an example i could use for making this?

🎉🎉🎉

```dataviewjs
const today = dv.date('today').toISODate()~~toFormat('yyyy-MM-dd')~~

dv.paragraph('```meta-bind' + `
INPUT[text:${today}#test]
`+'```')
```

is there a way to do the same thing for a button in a dataviewjs query?

I can get it to work with a toggle, but the button seems impossible because you cannot define it inline and if you define it outside then the bindTarget is fixed to the current note?

You can open a ticket for that, title could be "An Option for Buttons to perform actions on other files"
I haven't tried it for buttons either but a viable alternative is to create the buttons beneath a heading on the file you want to perform actions on then query/embed that heading with dataview/![[]] unto a separate note.

Im not sure thats a better solution than just using a toggle... if you have that button on a lot of notes changing it later will be a pain

Ive create a new issues as suggested
