Description
This issue respects the following points:
- I have read the FAQ
- I have searched for existing issues
- The issue affects the Notes Android app, neither the Notes server app nor the Nextcloud Android app.
Describe the bug
When creating a new note in the Android app, I am expecting the title of the file to be the first line, for example if the first line is the date "March 08, 2025".
Then I add content under neath. When I now look at that file in a web browser, it's installed called "New Note (16)" replacing 16 with however many there have been created using the Android notes app
Expected behavior
I expect the title of the note to be the contents of the first line of the note

Research direction
Start by reproducing note creation with a date or other first line on Android 14 using Notes Android 4.3.1, then inspect the note created in the Nextcloud web interface. Trace how new-note filenames and titles are assigned. Done means the first line is retained as the note title instead of a generated “New Note” name, without losing the remaining content.
