Scratching my head.
I have a single element (date) I need from the parent record (performance) so I did an element level databasejoin using the parent_id and label of date. The join works fine but it as it should returns the full date/time and I need to format it with the date plugin to mm-dd. It seems to me databasejoin and element type plugins should not be mutually exclusive but alas you can't select both.
My workaround was to do a table level join and then use the date plugin to format the date. This works but I end up with another 47 elements I don't need making the structure dizzyingly complex.
Tell me there is a way I am missing to do a element level databasejoin(plugin) and a element type plugin (date).
Thanks
