Thank you for these awesome templates!

I have installed the latest revision into my Templates folder setup in obsidian and I have all the mandatory plugins installed:

I am unable to use the weekly/monthly bullet journals properly as when creating the new link I get the error message

Error: File name cannot contain any of the following characters: \ / :

and am left with a weird looking entry:

I am very new to obsidian but I believe it is due to the links being of the form:

![[{{monday:gggg-MM-DD}}]] 

where the colon is being seen as an invalid filename. I have tried changing this manually to be a dash:

![[{{monday-gggg-MM-DD}}]] 

which creates the new file properly and the corresponding reference, but for me at least the name isn't replaced with the correct date

I am not familiar enough with obsidian's templating system to understand why this happening, and I apologize in advance if it turns out I have just have a misconfigured setup or am doing something wrong

Thank you so much once again for this great set of templates. They have been a joy to use so far!

Thank you for your detailed description of using the template "Bullet Journal - Weekly Log". What I had forgotten: The Obsidian Calendar plugin has to be installed. More about using it at: https://github.com/liamcain/obsidian-calendar-plugin

And sorry for the inconvenience.
