You'll have to store it in another field. I recommend just a hidden input field. Then it won't try to stop you from making the changes you want to the data and saving it to the database. Our date fields are locked in terms of how the data is stored. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-field-did-not-save-after-execution-of-gform_pre_submission-action#post-167999 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:06:49 +0000 brubrant2 167999@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>1) Yes, correctly. Field properties: <a href="http://pastie.org/6451207" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/6451207</a></p> <p>2) Yes. If I do not call my function in hook gform_pre_submission then the custom field is updated with the value of the date field correctly. As I need change the format of date I executed my function la_convert_field_date, but after that the custom field isn't updated anymore.</p> <p><a href="http://pastie.org/6451516" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/6451516</a></p> <p>3) No. I stored in the same variable $ _POST['input_3'] : <a href="http://pastie.org/6451625" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/6451625</a>.<br /> Isn't this variable $ _POST['input_3'] that will be stored in date field ([id] =&gt; 3)?</p> <p>4) In "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" format.</p> <p>Thanks David. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-field-did-not-save-after-execution-of-gform_pre_submission-action#post-167804 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:09:08 +0000 David Peralty 167804@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you help me understand better please.</p> <p>1.) You have a date field in your form and it is collecting the date correctly?<br /> 2.) You want to take that date and put it in a custom field?<br /> 3.) Did you create another field to put the date/time into after you've converted it the way you want?<br /> 4.) Can you lay out how you want the date to look in the custom field? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/custom-field-did-not-save-after-execution-of-gform_pre_submission-action#post-167794 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 11:58:24 +0000 brubrant2 167794@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello all!
