Thank you for your help, Katrin! As a follow up, I attempted to use the dateonly placeholder for our membership expiry notice, but the generated e-mails did not display as expected. In the notice, I used the following text exactly, with a space before and after the pipe character: "Your account will expire on <<borrowers.dateexpiry | dateonly>>." But the notices that were generated say: "Your account will expire on <>" (with an empty left and right angle brackets.
Our library is on Koha 17.11.10, and looking at the database schema, I see that the borrowers.dateexpiry column is "date", not "datetime", so that could be the reason why the dateonly placeholder doesn't work? But if that's the case, why is the "12:00 AM" added if the db column is a date, not a datetime?

Hi Arturo, try adding | dateonly to your placeholder variable like this: << biblio.timestamp | dateonly >> Hope this helps, Katrin On 07.11.18 15:46, Arturo Longoria wrote: > Our library recently enabled the MEMBERSHIP_EXPIRY notice to alert patrons of > expiring accounts.
