Date from another form is displayed as a text value in the current form

[Archana]

Hi,

I created a confiform with Name and date (d/m/y) format and store data.

On a different form, I am trying to retrieve this data as a smart check box so that the use can select which dates he will be available. I am able to retrieve that data. However, it is displayed as text value eg: 12437380000.

can someone guide on how this can be fixed?

thanks!

Hi

First, the format for date is incorrect, as m stands for minutes. Therefore it must be d/M/y

When you configure your smart field please add the override label parameter to be

[entry.your_date_field.formatDate(d/M/y)] as otherwise, by default, it shows the timestamp (internal value it holds)

I tried but I might be doing something wrong. Had the 'Override label value with custom label' as [entry.Dates.formatDate(d/M/y)]. But it shows me text value as 1673499780000

Not sure what do you mean, sorry

But may be this little demo will help to understand what I was trying to say
