I would prefer not having to use the svn version of FormFu. Is there another option/workaround for this? Something like "changing a submitted value before updating/inserting it into the DB" or "concatenate two submitted values to a single value before updating/inserting it into the DB"?
Right now I have manually added two selects (via "Multi") as hour and minute to my foo.yml. The only problem is: How can I append its submitted value (CompoundSprintf = '%02d:%02d:00') to the date field (strftime = '%Y-%m-%d') so that the resulting value can be put into the DB (mySQL datatype DATETIME - i.e. '%Y-%m-%d %02d:%02d:%02d')?

Greetings
Jens
