  - To use the **Custom Date Type**, unsure the radio button for **Custom** in the **Data Type** section.
  - From there, you are then able to edit the way the date will be presented on your price tags. This is done in the following format:
    * YYYY         - Four digit year
    * YY         - Two digit year
    * MM        - Two digit month
    * DD        - Two digit day \\ For example, if the date was October 9th 2020, the custom format of **YYYY-DD-MM** would read out as **2020-09-10**
  - Then click **OK**  to apply your changes.

===== Tag Example (with format of YYYY-DD-MM) =====
