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.
