MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Help formatting default value of custom column

Thanks @chaley, your answer both helped and didn't help. I was going to show that I had changed the format to what I wanted (I had MMM dd, yyyy). Then I started thinking about why it was showing up wrong. Thing is, it wasn't. I then realized that it showed up wrong on the title page of the ebook, and that brought me to the answer: that I had to change the input in my plugin config rather than the custom column default.

My only confusion was that before adding the default value, the date came out fine, but after it contained all this extra info, so I thought the problem would be with that. At least it's been solved!

Thank you very much for your help!
