Problem using date snippet to rename files

Problem using date snippet to rename files.

 

I have a snippet to provide today's date in the form YYMMDD followed by a space. 

This works well in most places. However, when I use it in Finder to add a date to the beginning of an existing file name, I receive the message: <The name "200127 (Existing file name)" can't be used. Try entering a name with fewer characters or with no punctuation marks>.

 

Please can you help?

Welcome @Mike Yoxon,

 

What’s the exact snippet you’re using? What’s your macOS version, and your Alfred version?
