Dynamically insert date based on day of submission

D

Im looking for a way to insert a variable in submission notifications. 

Specifically looking to insert name of 3 months prior to month submission was completed… for example 

  • User submits form in April
  • In notification I’d like to be able to insert (January, February, March)

Like so…

“….please be sure to send us GA reports for January, February and March.

 

OR

 

  • User submits form in December
  • In notification I’d like to be able to insert (September, October, November)

Like so…

“….please be sure to send us GA reports for September, October and November

@Desto - one way of doing this would be to create a variable to hold the months text and then use the logic rules to populate the string

variable: v_result is what i used in the image below

use logic rules to set the value of the text variable 

and then use the @recall feature to recall the variable into subsequent pages. the variable would be stored as part of the submission data

just one approach

Hi again. Im afraid I am not able to get it working. Is there a way to identify which month is current dynamically? Meaning, I logic above is based on assumption I know which month it is at the time of submission. How can I get that information into the form so I can applied variable correctly?
