I'm writing according to:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-set-the-content-of-the-post_title-field-from-custom-fields

Now it's all ok but I want to change date format. Now it's ten-digit number, the desired result is Y-m-d H:i

Hi Termo,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I'm assuming that you are making reference to the display on the frontend for the date.

What you can do is to have a look at our documentation below for how formatting works with the date fields

https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#date

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

No, in previous thread I've got some code. One of custom fields is data and it isn't transmiting to post title in correct format. I can see ten-digits numer only. How to put date in format "Y-m-d H:i" ?

Hi Termo,

I know what you are referring to now 🙂

Your date is in Unix Timestamp format.

Could you send me the code so I can have a look at it ?

Thanks,
Shane

Code is in thread that I linked.

add_action('cred_save_data','func_custom_post_title',10,2);
 function func_custom_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {
    $type = get_post_type($post_id);
    if ($form_data['id']==9999)
    {
        $c1 = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-custom-field-1', true);
        $c2 = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-custom-field-2', true);
       $c3 = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-custom-field-3', true);
 
       $title= $c1. '-' . $c2. '-' .$c3;
 
        $slug = sanitize_title($title);
 
 
           $args = array('ID' => $post_id, 
                                   'post_title' => $title, 
                                   'post_name' => $slug
                          );
 
        wp_update_post($args);
    }
}

For example "wpcf-custom-field-1" is date field. How to display it in data formatting?

Shane is on vacation. This is Minesh here to help you further and I'll take care of this ticket. Hope this is OK.

As Shane explain to you that Types date fields stores date as a timestap to database. You should use types shortcode to display the date at front-end. You do not need to change anything while you save date field.

So, to display the date field with format, please check following example:

[types field="my-date-field" format="Y/m/d g:i:s A"][/types]

I need to change date format before transfer it to title.

[Minesh Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)]

Considering "wpcf-custom-field-1" is date field.

You should try to use following code:

add_action('cred_save_data','func_custom_post_title',10,2);
 function func_custom_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {
    $type = get_post_type($post_id);
    if ($form_data['id']==9999)
    {
        $c1 = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-custom-field-1', true);
        $c1 = date("Y-m-d H:i",$c1);
        $c2 = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-custom-field-2', true);
       $c3 = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-custom-field-3', true);
  
       $title= $c1. '-' . $c2. '-' .$c3;
  
        $slug = sanitize_title($title);
  
  
           $args = array('ID' => $post_id, 
                                   'post_title' => $title, 
                                   'post_name' => $slug
                          );
  
        wp_update_post($args);
    }
}

I hope above code will help you to resolve your issue.
