Hello Dave and Co,

I'm using CMS B version 1.22. We're adding fields for "projects listings" and we want to put the date of a project within the record. When we added the field we selected date/time because that's the obvious choice...we don't want a text field as we want to be able to sort by, etc. and be consistent. However, the date/time type of selection only gives a choice of a date range by years, and then specified by hours, minutes, and/or seconds. Why is there no choice for month or day? I find this strange and found nothing related in the forums. The month and day options could apply to nearly any use for this field. Is there a current work around?

Thanks!

So you're not seeing a month or day field as part of the date field in the editor?

Or you want to be able to control whether month and day or shown?

Let me know and I'll try to help! :)

They are not showing and unfortunately I don't see a setting to reveal them.

Do you need to see it? I can forward login separately if so.

Hi equinox69,

You should be seeing a field for the day and month, so you'll want to go ahead and submit a support request here so that we can look at this more closely:

Here's what I remember, and I'll attach a screenshot.
1) First thing I did was ensure I had the newest CMS Builder version.
2) In the admin area for building the fields I chose "date/time" as the option
3) I put an extended year range in and didn't check any of the boxes below it. A screen shot is attached.

I think that took care of it.

Problem Solved. I was looking for a visual in administration. There isn't one. Only the year and time options show. When I go into the editor, everything is there as it should be.

I'm suprised I'm the only one confused about this, ha. Oh well thanks for such a fast reply!

Now I need to write support and tell them to cancel my ticket. :)
