How to implement php functions on CF7

Convert a custom PHP date format in ChronoForms 7.

Overview

The issue occurs when migrating a PHP function that uses setlocale and strftime to output a localized month abbreviation, as the standard date shortcode might not directly support this format.
Enable the "Run PHP" behavior in the HTML view's advanced settings to execute custom PHP code, or use the date shortcode with a format string that includes the month abbreviation, as it supports various date formats.

Do the {date:} shortcodes not work in CF7?

Hi the issue is when you need write month abreviation instead of number, I think date doesn't support it How to implement php functions on CF7 image 2

both of you are right, this works also, I thought that I needed first use "strtotime" function first but is not necessary

venta.fecha:<b style='color:SlateBlue;'>{date:y-M-d$(var:ventas_list.row.venta.fecha)}</b>
