Feature Request: Allow users to change timestamps in settings without having to also update Regex. Either update regex automatically, or make Regex opt in.

Feature Requested

While some Obsidian users are programmers and familiar with things like regex, there are lots of users who aren't and wouldn't be able to change custom timestamps in the settings without knowing regex; Non-technical users may struggle with writing regex. I'm proposing one of two things, but prefer the first:

  • Add a checkbox to the settings for opting into checking bulleted lines for regex. If unchecked, then the extension would check on its own for if the timestamp is there. If necessary, it can generate regex on its own in the background.
  • Whenever the timestamp changes, generate the regex in the box.

  • [X] The feature would be useful to more users than just me.
