Just installed CB Subs - love it! I do have an issue though...

In the CB Fields plugin, several custom CB fields are updated after membership/subscription is approved... 2 date fields (membership join date) and (membership expiry date), plus a couple of other fields. I'm using the user subscription substitution fields [SUBSCRIPTION_SIGNUP_DATE] and [SUBSCRIPTION_EXPIRY_DATE] to update the 2 date fields and assigning values to the other fields. The values I assign to the other fields get applied but the date fields using the substitutions do not update at all - they remain blank. If I hard code the expiry date as 2013/12/31 then that value gets applied. I suspect the format of the [SUBSCRIPTION_SIGNUP_DATE] and [SUBSCRIPTION_EXPIRY_DATE] is mm/dd/yyyy and that's why the date isn't being saved. Is there a way to convert the date during the substitution or do I change the date format in CB configuration from mm/dd/yyyy to yyyy/mm/dd?

Also, I noticed that when I as the user delete my subscription (or the admin does it), the fields are not being set to the values that I'd specified for them on expiry of the membership.

I've attached a screen shot of the CB Fields screen showing the values...

Correct... both dates are already formatted so when I saved them to text fields they came out as 07/05/2013 for the date joined and then 12/31/2013 for the expiry date.

So how do I save these dates to a CB date field that is expecting them in a yyyy/mm/dd format?

Thanks Kyle. So that takes care of the date issue... what about the other issue where the text fields are not being updated to the values I've specified when a membership expires? I have several fields that need to be updated when a membership expires - they get set correctly on joining but do not get set when I delete the membership or it expires.
