I may be overlooking something simple, but I am building a Content Template for a custom post type using Toolset Blocks. I am using a Single Field to insert the Post Date from the Current Post. It outputs 2019-12-03 16:22:28. Where can I define the display parameters to make this read "December 3, 2019" Without a shortcode it isn't immediately clear how to do so.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

To display the post date field in a different format - you should use the "Fields and Text" block. Please check the following screenshot:

You can use the "Add field or View" button to add the post date field. While you select the post date field to add it will allow you to customize the date format options. Please check the following screenshot:

Thank you for directing me to the "Fields And Text" block. I'm going to find this one very useful! My current issue is resolved. Thanks for your time.
