Custom Field date type shortcode output format issue

[innovatek]

I have a date in a custom field (Toolset) and I’m adding it to the content of a custom post layout page.
The custom field is stored as a Timestamp and I am using the shortcode: {{dc:post:meta key=“wpcf-ad-expiry-date”}}
The shortcode displays the date as numbers only, so not very helpful.
I tried the following shortcode with type date, however it showed today’s date, not the custom field date: {{dc:post:meta key=“ad-expiry-date” type=“date” format=“F j, Y”}}
Is there anything I am missing here? The other non-date custom fields work great.
There is another way that displays it correctly on a page, but it is not a ‘closed’ shortcode and it doesn’t work works where I need it. This is: [types field=“ad-start-date” style=“text” format=“j F Y”][/types].
I really want to use the dc:post shortcode, so hopefully you can help here.
Cheers
Ken
