replacement for date field with publish_up as source 'param'

Hello
I have a problem with date field in the V1680 and in the beta V1696 :
When asking for displayed date source as 'show item's Start publication date', I get only the end publication date.
How can I get the Start publication date ?

A second question :
my field is called start_date. Can I use {{start_date##0}} in another field ?

thank you for help
best regards
Michel

Hello,

The replacement feature in prefix/suffix/opentag/closetag parameters (of various fields)

-- works with field values that have been saved

so if you created a date field that displays the PUBLISH up then it will not work , with items that have not been saved after the date field was configured

maybe try using this replacement:
{{item->publish_up}} , but publish_up date will be in UTC+0 timezone

thank you
I try it
but do you have a solution for my 1st question : the date for publish up is not displayed. Only publish down is published for both types of date

best regards

maybe try using this replacement:
{{item->publish_up}} , but publish_up date will be in UTC+0 timezone

this value is working. I get also the good value for publish-up.

I have just created a new article. In the admin view I get this message in the article form (for both value up and down) :

Automatic field (shows this content 's end publication date)
2014-01-19 05:14:54

In front view I get nothing for these values when displaying the article.

sorry
just wanted to reactivate this post.
I think there is a problem with publish-up date.

when using this value in admin, I get the following message :

Automatic field (shows this content 's end publication date)
2014-01-19 05:14:54

I get the same message for publish up and publish down message (I get only the publish down value)

I got this itn the V1686 and in the last beta I have uploaded (v1696)

best regards

Hello,

so the issue that you report is :
1. that the message is item form is inappropriate (e.g. we should use a language string so that this get translated),
or
2. that the value is not displayed in item/category/other views?

For 2 please send me a PM with admin login and admin URL and also include:
a. the field name(s) of the date field(s)
b. the ID of a Content Item to use as an example for testing

Regards
