Hi
I have this in my form a generic field of type DATE:
[cred_generic_field field='expirydate' type='date' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":1,
"validate_format":0,
"default":""
}
[/cred_generic_field]

in my php:
add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
//change booking expiry date
if ( 25306 == $form_data['id'] ) {
$expirydate = $_POST['expirydate'];
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_cred_post_expiration_time', $expirydate );
}

It does not work, I tried even to display the content of $expirydate, it shows empty.
I checked my code with other types of variable than date, it works, but not with date.
Thank you for helping.

Try sending the $_POST object to your debug logs like this, so that you can see the format:

error_log(print_r($_POST, true));

I don't remember the format off the top of my head, but I think you will find the value of the expirydate field submitted with the form is inside an array or object.

If you get stuck, let me know.
