I am trying to make a calendar and want to use Date/Time with the Variable Text (MMM). When I copy it by making an array wit either the 9-squares or the circle array and I click on test, it gives for every month “jan”. So I have 12 months of januari instead of Jan, Feb, Mar etc.
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug in the Date/Time?
It seems like he takes the current date, day and month.

      "It seems like he takes the current date, day and month."

That’s correct, Date/Time formatting uses the system local time, so you can’t Offset it (or Auto-increment that Offset) as you can with some of the other Variable Text options.

You can do it with CSV formatting, so you could set up a quick CSV with the months of the year, and then use that. Otherwise, you’ll need to manually edit the months in LightBurn. Thankfully, there aren’t too many.
