What Tony is saying, and I agree, is to use something like the datepicker plugin or the <<now>> macro (with the [UTC]YYYY0MM0DD0hh0mm0ssXXX option) to save your dates. Then use <$view format=...> to display your dates however you want. If you store your dates in native TW5 format you will find more code and plugins that can use that format. I sympathize with wanting to use dates like 01.20.2018, but there's not a lot of good tools for splitting text. The various filters for date functions built into TW5 expect dates in the native TW5 format.

Nov. 19"). What you would probably need to do is to build your own input field and button that could populate both fields at once. But it would be better to just store the date once in TW5 format as mentioned above.
