Date Format in CSV export

  1. Hi Guys --

    I've got a field populating with today's date (instead of trying to strip the time from the auto-generated one) and it works fine but for one thing: It exports as yyyy-mm-dd, regardless of the format I set.

    I need to get backslashes in there.

    Any thoughts?

  2. Note: Looking at the entries in the back end, it's coming through correctly as mm/dd/yyyy.

  3. How are you populating the field with the current date? Can you post how you're doing that?

    I wouldn't rely too much on how the date is displayed in the entries. How is the date being stored in the database?

    Also, if you would like, you can export your form as XML (Forms > Import/Export > then the top middle menu item, Export Forms. ) Email it to chris@rocketgenius.com and I will take a look at how it's working.

    There was an old bug which did the same thing, but it was repaired a couple years ago:

  4. Hi Chris,

    Date is being put into Date Picker, format mm/dd/yyyy -- populated with {date_mdy}. Weird thing is I thought this was working fine a couple days ago, but it certainly isn't now (no changes or updates). CSV is coming through yyyy-mm-dd.

    Form export in your inbox.

    Many thanks,
