How to change a datesyntax in a form

Hi there,

​

I have a question regarding dynamic data.

let's say you have a value in your database of a date in syntax: YYYYMMDD

Is it possible, when you load the value via dynamic data, you change something on the syntax, that for example you can show it DD-MM-YYYY or DDMMYYYY

Thanks in advance!

Hi hyperful,

​

You can do this using a Custom Code action before the HTML Render Form action. See this StackOverFlow answer for some ways to do this e.g. something like this:

<?php​
​$form->data['date'] = date('d M Y', strtotime($form->data['date']));​
​?>
