Wrong merge tags for modifying date fields

    Your plugin is giving me merge tags formatted like this to break apart the month/day/year of a date field:

    {Date of birth (Month):20.1}

    These didn’t work, and I found the that GF documentation says that these tags should be formulated like this: {Field Name:2:modifier}. https://docs.gravityforms.com/date/#h-merge-tags

    When I used {Date of birth:20:month}, it worked.

    You may want to fix this.

  • Hi Beth, I cannot reproduce this with a normal date field. Normally ‘.1’ and ‘.2’ are only shown if the field has multiple inputs, like a checkbox field. Happy to look into it though, can you send me an export of your form? Please send it to support@ our company website.

    When the date field is the “Date Field” type (not date picker), there are three separate small fields for month, day and year. This is what produces the .1, etc.
