Its actually a shortcut that displays the wrong format, the correct picture is posted below

Hi,
Do you need to define the format at all since you are only offering pre-defined values as option choices?

Without format the 'month' does not show the 01,02,03 but 1,2,3.

Also, no change for shortcuts on forms and {} enclosed

pbrad

Have you tried ## rather than 00?

pbrad

If this is a bug, so be it but sometimes a workaround is less frustrating to deal with. Does it have to be a number at all. Could it not be converted to a text field with the same values?
Cheers,
Pete

Rennur

No I haven't, Appendix C:

= A digit where 0 is not shown

pbrad

If you are in a hurry, converting it to text should get you going again.

Yeah, I'll probably workaround it with a text attribute and set up rules to define the month attribute.

I need it to be a number for my 'check c/card expiry' BO rule.

Also, Timestamp and date attribute formats for shortcuts in a custom view are not working.
