Change date format of a list field in Mailchimp Campaign (NOT API)
I'm trying to create an email to go out to our students that will include their first day of classes. I can get the date inserted in mm/dd/yyyy format (eg. 01/07/2019), but I would like it in word format (eg. January 7, 2019) and I cannot figure out how to re-format the date.
I haven't found any similar enough questions anywhere - in Mailchimp help, on StackOverflow, or elsewhere, but this doesn't seem that odd a thing to want, so I must be missing something?
Things that have NOT worked (mergetag: "START"):
*|START:m/d/y|*
*|START(m/d/y)|*
*|START(TEXT)|*
*|START:l F jS, Y|*
*|START:DATE:l F jS, Y|*
*|START(DATE:l F jS, Y)|*
*|START:FORMAT:l F jS, Y|*
*|FORMAT|START:l F jS, Y|*
*|FORMAT:l F jS, Y|**|START|**|END:FORMAT|*
date_format(l F jS, Y *|START|*)
string date ( string $format[l F jS, Y *|START|*])
You can probably see where I started trying things I don't really understand!
ALTERNATIVELY: is there a quick "code" for inserting the name of an interest group that someone is in? Thankfully I only have so many dates I need to work with - but they do batch change every now and then.
