I've been trying to get a date range setup with the Scheduled Post titles and I'm having a hard time getting it to format right. According to the modnews post[1] about a month ago in the comments, it should be an easy:

1: https://old.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/idhvme/updated_feature_scheduled_recurring_posts/g299hzx/

"Daily Scheduled Post - {{date %B %d, %Y}}".

As it uses the python datetime formatting[2]. My title is formatted as:

2: https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-format-codes

{{date %d %b, %Y}} - {{date+7 %d %b, %Y}} 

and it ends up like this

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here?

Yeah they were saying there was an existing date formatting option the way automod did it but I’m not seeing it
