I’m afraid I should have added some context to my script.
This was part a “daily notes” type TBX, “Captain’s Log.” So there are functions and Rules that create containers for each day, with the path defined by the root level (“Archive” or something) followed by calculated containers for each year, month, and day.
You may have a fixed “Inbox” container with a static, defined path, which wouldn’t require all the construction of “thePath” as set out at the start of the “Tell” segment.
Does that make it a little clearer?
Update: This is much of the discussion about Captain’s Log. (I think. I should have checked.)
