đź“… Calendar-based month picking in your formulas

We’ve improved how to work with month-based modifiers in your formulas!

Before, autocomplete could be confusing. When typing statements like IF CurrentMonth IS Jan or Variable.Jan25, the suggestions weren't always helpful. You might have seen a vague "MONTH" suggestion or a few specific months, but it was hard to know what to type or see all available options.

✨ What’s new?

Now, selecting months is intuitive and visual. Instead of guessing, you can choose months from a new calendar selector within autocomplete. This makes building formulas faster and clearer.

You can easily pick:

  • Recurring [month] (e.g., Jan for any January).
  • Specific [month] [year] (e.g., Jan25 for January 2025).

⚙️ How does it work?

When typing a formula that requires a month modifier (e.g., after IF CurrentMonth IS, or as a property like Variable.), the autocomplete suggestions will now display the Recurring [month] / Specific [month] [year] options.

  • For recurring months: Select the month name (e.g., Jan). from the calendar This inserts the modifier for that month in any year (e.g., IF CurrentMonth IS Jan).
  • For specific months: Select the month name and the desired year from the calendar (e.g., Jan 2026). This inserts the specific modifier (e.g., Variable.Jan26 or IF CurrentMonth IS Jan26).
