Uploading to a date subfolder within a Matrix

Question

I'm working on a site that will have lots of content. Our customer now asked to have their images upload into a different subfolder, by date. I can get it done in a "normal" Assets field, but in a Matrix I get an error: Could not resolve the subpath “{postDate|date("d-m-Y")}”, with postDate being the name of the generated folder. I did the exact same thing in a "regular" Assets field and that does its job as it should.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

You're probably looking for:

{owner.postDate|date("d-m-Y")}

See the note about dynamic subfolders on an Assets field inside of Matrix here: https://craftcms.com/docs/assets-fields#dynamic-subfolder-paths
