A quick one, I hope.
How does one go about formatting a difference between dates as months/years
since bubble only gives you these options.
Cheerios
Date operations output number. To get a (not exact) number of months, you can go format as days / 30 :floor.
So you’ll get 0 months for anything below 30 days, 1 month for anything between 30 and 60, etc etc.
If you need something more specific, let us know and we’ll try to help 
Ah of course, thanks!
Is there an easy way to combine this into years/months/days?
Sounds like it will get really complex and messy quickly trying to get something like
“2 years 5 months and 3 days”. and only show years if days > 365. and only show month if days > 30/31 and so forth.
Shame this isn’t built in 
In my experience, it will get messy yes. I’ve only accomplished it using :floor and :modulo. Though once you’ve built it out, it’s quite fast. Alternatively, you can check this plugin to see if it has the functionality you need:

Thanks! unfortunately it looks like it’s too vague. It’s probably only useful when the timestamp isn’t of any importance. e.g. a blogpost. 
Could you share an example of how you strung it together
by using modulo?
Are more people in need of detailed time string options? Maybe it’s worth a feature request?
