My app’s URL: [https://go.glideapps.com/app/gWLihf9z6c2L6smFIx3v](https://go.glideapps.com/app/gWLihf9z6c2L6smFIx3v) I created a couple template columns that I’m using as part of an email component (subject line and body): ![Screen Shot 2020-08-23 at 10.15.35 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/0/0cec2faed9e2cb13e3fc7906ba9a30129f9ad427.png) ![Screen Shot 2020-08-23 at 10.15.51 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/5/5d4231fee2be8c1053605dd7d385097749724883.png) You see that when I substitute D for the Date column, they appear in the data editor. Here’s the Email component setup: ![Screen Shot 2020-08-23 at 10.20.21 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/0/00124ac3e2ff48e7d3606a8f970384c1ff2f3ad1.png) However, when clicking the email icon to send the email, the dates are missing: ![Screen Shot 2020-08-23 at 10.16.30 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/6/60d3834a424de573b44a7220c44b713c97f263ba.jpeg) ---

I wonder if this is somehow related to the reason we can’t use glide columns with Stripe. I’m guessing it’s some sort of limitation with the way Glide currently works. I bet the template is built on the device itself, so maybe that is some reason why it’s not working. Hopefully they can shed some light. In a roundabout way, you could probably submit the template through a form, then email the resulting value from the form sheet. Not ideal though. Also, just be careful about using ‘D’ for your replacement. Any capital D will be replaced. I’ve been working on a project where I have several wildcard replacements and I wrap them in {} for both visibility and for uniqueness. So in your case I would use {D} instead of D. You can see that the D in dining services is getting replaced in your case. ---

Yeah I caught that after the video. I will, in the future, take your suggestion of variable wrapping. Thanks! ---

Hi @Mark, this still hasn’t been fixed. I’m also seeing what I believe to be a related issue. Again, I’m combining a date with a body of text but instead of using it in an email component, I’m using it as a “default value” in a form. Again, the date is missing: Here’s the URL to the app: [https://go.glideapps.com/app/6wLM7oLuZky0H7NHhWQD](https://go.glideapps.com/app/6wLM7oLuZky0H7NHhWQD)
