You get the idea ;)
It's possible to customize path and heading of your daily notes, by following the dateformat masking syntax. The following properties can be used:
"foam.openDailyNote.directory": "journal",
"foam.openDailyNote.filenameFormat": "'daily-note'-yyyy-mm-dd",
"foam.openDailyNote.fileExtension": "mdx",
"foam.openDailyNote.titleFormat": "'Journal Entry, ' dddd, mmmm d",The above configuration would create a file journal/daily-note-2020-07-25.mdx, with the heading Journal Entry, Sunday, July 25.
