Is your Feature Request related to a Problem or Annoyance?

My FrontMatter contains the "updatedAt" field, with the format of YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:ss. It is automatically updated by other plugins (such as Obsidian Thino). I need to display this field in the View Field in the format of YYYY-MM-DD (so that it can point to my journal files).

Describe the Feature you'd like

By formatting the datetime, I can associate the notes with my journals (my working notes). I can quickly identify the notes of the day in the backlinks of the journals (for example, by associating them through the "createdAt" field).

Alternatives

I tried the "Live Variables" plugin, but the way it works is not very satisfactory. It will refresh the elements, causing the content of the elements to be lost.
