Dear list, in the following document I can set the date as seen by LuaTeX so the date functions use a different date: --- \starttext \ctxlua{tex.year=1980; tex.month=1; tex.day=15} % Taken from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/date, % outputs 15 may 1980 \date[m=1][day,~,{\monthshort\normalmonth},~,year] % outputs January 15, 1980 \ctxlua{context.date{m=tex.month};} \stoptext --- This works for all parts of the date (even the weekday), except the month. I've looked through the core-con.lua and found nothing that would explain this (or what I'd need to change), as the tex.month is properly set. Best regards Tristan

\meaning\normalday \par \meaning\normalmonth \par \meaning\normalyear \par context (re)defines \month so you need to use the original meanings (\normal..)
