Body: <p>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: <code>Could not resolve the subpath “{postDate|date("d-m-Y")}”</code>, with <code>postDate</code> 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.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>

Title: Uploading to a date subfolder within a Matrix
ThreadText: # Uploading to a date subfolder within a Matrix
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-10-27)
  
  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!
