Filter a view with contextual authored date I have a Drupal 8 view where I want to sort nodes by authored year using  contextual filters.

So www.mysite.com/2017

will list all nodes from 2017.

I set up the filter using 'Content: Created Year' which takes YYYY format.

But the filter is ignored. 

www.mysite.com/2017 returns all years.

What did I miss?
Try adding the placeholder % to the path (in the main views UI in the middle column under "Page settings"), 

e.g. something like my-view/by-year/% which will accept URLs like my-view/by-year/2019
