However, it is a good idea so we can look into how we can handle this in a future release.</p> <p>Right now if you wanted to store the date in a specific format you would have to write custom code to handle reformatting the data using API hooks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-the-curent-month-and-year-in-confirmation-text#post-20813 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 10:11:56 +0000 paintscape 20813@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We have an online assignment as a Gravity form that needs a text string that includes the month and year in the text. As in this example, the text should look like this-</p> <p>0274/0311/8 (the first numbers are just static text/ month year/last is the post ID)</p> <p>Here is what I was able to do: "CEU Sponsor Code: 0274/03/17/2011/8"<br /> using these form fields: CEU Sponsor Code: 0274/{Date:35}/{embed_post:ID}</p> <p>I would like the date field to just display the month and year. I tried changing the variable like {date_m} to no avail. </p> <p>I cannot send you to the URL for the form because it requires membership access, but could arrange for access if required. Just let me know in PM.</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated,<br /> Thanks </p>
