I am trying to: I am using the core text block to display a Toolset custom field that is a date. If you update the template including this field and do not specifically reset the date format it reverts to the default format when the template is saved.

I expected to see:

Instead, I got:

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Yes, I can see the issue but before I escalate this I need to check few things.

For now, you should try to use "Fields and Text" block and check if that help you to resolve the issue.

The Toolset Block does not have this issue. We are trying to use core blocks as much as possible since the Toolset Blocks have a different UI and also since they are not being enhanced.

Just want to confirm - when you say core Text block, do you mean paragraph block?

Also, regarding Toolset plugin future:
It's not like that, we still work and maintain the Toolset plugins and our Devs will decide when to add new features. If you want to raise any feature request you can raise it using the following link:
- https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/

However, please note that there is no ETA when the feature is added, its totally depend on the pre-defied priority of our Devs.

For now, you will have to use either shortcode or Toolset block as a workaround.

Hi Manish. Yes we are using the core paragraph block. Just wanted to make sure dev team had this bug (overlaying the synamic settings) on the list.

I've escalated the issue in front of our Devs. Please hold on for further updates.

In the mean time, you will have to either use singe field block or use shortcode to display the custom date field:

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