Hi,
When people add dates to my form using the date picker, the email notification shows this extra information:

Date of Birth
display-only September 1, 2021
datepicker 1630454400
datetime 2021-09-01
hour 00
minute 00
timestamp 1630454400

When I first set up the form, the data came across as plain text not in a grid format. Is there a way to get it to just send me the plain entry data?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

It seems you are displaying the %%FORM_DATA%% placeholder to print the email content and there is no way to change the %%FORM_DATA%% placeholder content.

you will have to customize your email by adding the shortcodes to it.

I would prefer to use the shortcodes in my emails but I don't think I am formatting them correctly.

Could you please give me an example of how I could print the fname lname and Date Of Birth in the notification email?
This is what I was using but it comes out blank

Name: [types field='fname'][/types] [types field='lname'][/types]

DOB: [types field='date-of-birth' style='text' format='d/m/y'][/types]

Can you please try the following code:

Name: [types field='fname' item='%%POST_ID%%'][/types] [types field='lname' item='%%POST_ID%%'][/types]

DOB: [types field='date-of-birth' style='text' format='d/m/y' item='%%POST_ID%%'][/types]
