MerlinMama · 08-28-2020, 08:11 AM

I love that there is now an option to add a default for the custom columns! I just need help formatting the date.

I used the option 'Now' for my Date Added custom column, and it does work, but it currently shows up as:

==> Packaged: 2020-08-28 00:00:00-04:00.

Is there any way for me to have it automatically include today's date, but only year, month, day? Bonus if it could be in my preferred format of month, day, year, but that I don't really mind, so long as the time and time zone info isn't included.

Thanks!
