Bug: backslashes in date format

    Hello,

    Backslashes are required in date formats to enter characters that otherwise have meaning for the PHP date function. However, the application has a bug related to this:

    Backslashes need to be added twice, and they’re internally converted to single slashes, shown on the next form.

    Consider this process:

    1. Enter date format \\x. It gets stored as \x.
    2. Edit entry, not changing date format. Field is \x, it gets converted to x and stored this way.

    There are two possible fixes:
    A. Fix at 1. so that \\x gets stored as \\x and \x gets stored as \x.
    B. Fix edit form so that \x gets shown as \\x in the form.

    Thanks,

    Thanks I will look into it. Are you using a date format that uses this? If so what is it so I can use it as a test item.

    Thanks!
