snippets with {date:YYYY} show 2022 instead of 2021

[octothorpe]

* What you were doing when the issue happened

I was using a snippet I have which pastes in the current date in YYYY-MM-DD format. 

Instead of pasting "2021-12-30" as expected, it pasted "2022-12-30"

A snippet I have that uses {date:full} pastes in the correct date "Thursday, December 30, 2021"

Been using these snippets for at least a couple years without issue.

 

* Whether you were able to replicate it a second time by performing the same action

Yes. It occurs with any snippet I have set up that uses {date:YYYY} or {date:YY}

 

* Include any screenshots that might help us

see below

 

* Include the Alfred version & build number you are using

Alfred 4.6.1

 

* Include your macOS version

macOS 12.1

 

* Troubleshooting steps I've taken

- checked the system clock in the Date & Time preferences (it was correct)

- quit and re-opened Alfred

You should be using yyyy, not YYYY.

 

YYYY specifies the ISO "week of year", whereas yyyy specifies the calendar year.

Well, that was a quick and easy fix, thanks much!

 

I suppose this thread should be moved elsewhere since it was a case of simple misconfiguration.

Kinda. YYYY should also be 2021 until Monday, and it is on my machine.

In my Date & Time settings, the week is set to start on Monday instead of Sunday -- maybe that has something to do with it?

It shouldn't: the appropriate standard also starts the week on Monday.
 

AFAIK, starting the week on a Sunday is another one of those bizarre Americanisms. Other people don't do it that way.

Weird. I don't recall having had this problem last year, but it's possible I just didn't notice.

 

(I'm in the US, but I've never understood starting the calendar week on Sunday when the work and school week, for most, starts on Monday.)
