Using AS v 7.2.4 64 bit. Trying to set a Death Image Title Template in

Tools>Options>Death Settings

I've been trying to use

{DATE.YEAR} {DATE.MONTH} {DATE.DAY}

The year and the day appear as expected, but the month does not show in the example (or the actual title if I use it)

AS 1.jpg
AS 1.jpg (164.83 KiB) Viewed 2148 times

This also applies to Death Method 1 Title Template, and although I haven't tested them all, it certainly applies equally with Marriage and Birth entries.

Am I doing something wrong?

Check the Help page for Template Keywords and Functions that lists:

{DATE.DAY}: The day part of the date, e.g. 3
{DATE.DAY2}: The day part of the date as 2 digits, e.g. 03

{DATE.MONTH.NUM}: The month part of the date in numeric format, e.g. 9
{DATE.MONTH.NUM2}: The month part of the date in numeric format (2 digits), e.g. 09
{DATE.MONTH.SHORT}: The month part of the date in short format, e.g. Sep
{DATE.MONTH.SHORT.CAPS}: The month part of the date in short format and capitals, e.g. SEP
{DATE.MONTH.FULL}: The month part of the date in full format, e.g. September
{DATE.MONTH.FULL.CAPS}: The month part of the date in full format and capitals, e.g. SEPTEMBER

{YEAR}: The year part of the date, e.g. 1800
I think this is a typo and should be {DATE.YEAR}

I think both will work.

Nick, I was not sure because that page also lists at the top:

{YEAR}: The year that the event took place, e.g. 1891

Then says:
{DATE}: The date that the event being recorded took place. e.g. 3 Sep 1800. There are also various sub-tags available for the DATE keyword ... :

and later in that same indented {DATE} section:
{YEAR}: The year part of the date, e.g. 1800

But it is not shown as a sub-tag, e.g. {DATE.YEAR}

I understand that both {YEAR} and {DATE.YEAR} will work the same but would it more complete to show both forms.
