Description Nicole C. Engard 2012-02-24 16:10:33 UTC
It would be nice if there was a way to enter a Year/Month Name pattern in Serials. Or even some shortcode (like typeing {MMMM} to get the month name to show) we could enter to get the Name of the Month receives to show in the numbering pattern box.  Right now you can do Year/Number but if there are irregularities then the number does not correspond to the month the issue was published or received in.

Hi Nicole, I found this in the bug description of bug 7688:

"There is a new value in numbering patterns: numberingX. For each
"column" (X, Y or Z) you can tell how to format the number. Actually
numberingX can be set to:
 - 'dayname' (name of the day) (0-6 or 1-7 depending on which day is the
   first of the week)
 - 'monthname' (name of the month) (0-11)
 - 'season' (name of the season) (0-3) (0 is Spring)"

I am linking both bugs together, suspecting it might be a fix for the problem mentioned here.

It is now possible to create frequencies with the month and day names. Closing fixed.
