Hi

I am using ACF Pro to create a custom field called cpt_date on a custom post type Event. This field is a Date Picker.
In Gravity Form, I created a form to allow people to subscribe to this event. In an input, I get the value of cpt_date of the current event. I want to use it in the confirmation email. My problem is that it displayed the date in the format YYYYMMDD and I would like it to look as I choosed in ACF admin meaning DD-MM-YYYY. How can I change the format of the date in the value of this hidden field?

Thanks for your help

Hi @ac-morcrette

To get the date format matching the Return Format option, you need to use the get_field() function. If you want, you can also format it manually. This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/date-picker/.

I hope this helps 🙂
