    Hi,

    I’m using magic tags ({post_meta:*}) to display ACF custom fields and it works quite fine. Except one situation: one field is a date (current event date) and it shows me it in a “machine” format (e.g.: 20180516).

    Any chance I could format it somehow?

    Thanks
    Petr

    Hi there,

    Thanks for using Caldera Forms, it means a lot to us.

    I’m not sure how to help because I don’t know what you want to format the date to. If you wanted to show the date with slashes or hyphen, you could set this up via ACF. If you wanted to only display the year, or the month, you could do this using a filter or calculation field. But in general, we do not have a GUI option to format a date pulled in via the post_meta magic tag from ACF.

    Sorry about that, but I hope we can be of help to you in the future. As always, you can get same-day help from us by opening a Priority Support ticket at https://calderaforms.com/support.
