I am trying to save data from a project into a database which requires me to have 3 separate fields for Month Day and Year. I need it to be separated with slashes but Thunkable automatically changes it into commas. Is there a code which can make this save with / in between the values.

Don’t use a list block. That makes a list which contains commas as delimiters. Instead, use the **join** block from the Text drawer.

Or you can use the list block **make text from list** and set the delimiter to nothing (“”).
