[SOLVED] Setting expiration date to CB Field was created by Goosemoose
Hi Guys,

I'm trying to save plan expiration dates on a monthly recurring plan to a CB date field. I've tried quite a few things and can't seem to get it to work at all. The CB field, is of type date. I'm using Set.Field = value and the value is set to [SUBSCRIPTION_EXPIRY_DATE]. My goal is for this to update each time one of our plans renew (could be monthly or yearly). We're using this value in other programs.

My guess is the date substitution is coming out formatted already instead of SQL format, which means it can't be stored to a date field. You can use an SQL Action and use a database query to force formatting or just store it to a text field.

Got it, thanks. Just in case anyone else looks for something similar, here's the SQL query I used. It took a little work to get things formatted right for a CB Date Field.
Code:
UPDATE `yourdbname`.`jos3_comprofiler` SET `cb_yourfieldname` = DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE('[SUBSCRIPTION_EXPIRY_DATE]','%m/%d/%Y'),'%Y-%m-%d') WHERE `jos3_comprofiler`.`id` = '[user_id]'
