If a button's actions are defined "inline" within the button definition (as
you have done), then they are parsed when the button is rendered.
This results in an unchanging timestamp for the journal title, which causes
the old journal to be overwritten each time the button is clicked.
However...
If the button's actions are defined in a separate macro that is invoked via
the actions=<<macroname>> syntax,
then parsing of the action code is deferred until the button is actually
pressed, and is **re-calculated each time the button is pressed**
This code works as you intend:
\whitespace trim
\define journalButtonActions()
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" title=<<now
"""$(journalTitleTemplate)$""">> text="""[[$(tid)$]]""" />
\end
\define journalButtonTags()
[[$(currentTiddlerTag)$]] $(journalTags)$
\end
\define journalButton()
<$button tooltip={{$:/language/Buttons/NewJournalHere/Hint}}
aria-label={{$:/language/Buttons/NewJournalHere/Caption}}
class=<<tv-config-toolbar-class>>
actions=<<journalButtonActions>>>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-icons>match[yes]]">
{{$:/core/images/timestamp-on}}
</$list>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-text>match[yes]]">
<span class="tc-btn-text">
<$text text={{$:/language/Buttons/NewJournalHere/Caption}}/>
</span>
</$list>
</$button>
\end
<$set name="journalTitleTemplate" value={{$:/config/NewJournal/Title}}>
<$set name="tid" value=<<currentTiddler>>>
<<journalButton>>
</$set>
</$set>
