Hi Alex,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

I found a previous ticket, where we've discussed this topic before:

For the date type custom fields, the select type search field filter is not supported. It only allows a date picker or a text input field, which is why you're seeing the raw, timestamp values when you change the field type to "select".

The custom code snippet shared in this reply should still work to convert the timestamp text into the formatted date:

Note: You'll replace the the current field's name in that code snippet, so that this line:

jQuery('select[name="wpv-wpcf-letzter-termin_min"] option, select[name="wpv-wpcf-letzter-termin_max"] option').each(function () {

Will become:

jQuery('select[name="wpv-wpcf-letzter-termin"] option,').each(function () {

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need further assistance.

regards,
Waqar
