I need the code format to apply in the form (example {submissiondate})

for example
IP is {ip}
and
Submission ID is {id} -

There seems to be no code for the Submission Date. If you want, you can add a date field to your form, hide it, and set the default value to current.
You can then get the code of the field from Field Details.

"There seems to be no code for the Submission Date." How excel gets this information?

The submission date is the current date when the submission was recorded. This would be a backend code (i.e. PHP Code: date("Y-m-d H:i:s")) that is not accessible like the submission ID - {id} and IP address - {ip} code.

Is there any possibility that I can use that "backend code" in my form?

The submission date cannot be used on the form, but you can use any field from your form getting its field name, please check this guide that will help you getting the fields names: https://www.jotform.com/help/146-How-to-Find-Field-IDs-and-Names
I hope this helps.

Sorry but I need the submission date. It is strange cause you have it in excel and you cannot have it in the form. I think there is a way to do it. Can you help me please?
THANKS!! -

The submission date is created at the moment the submit button, before the submit button is not clicked there is not a submission generated yet so it's not possible to have the submission date.
Alternatively you may use the workaround provided by my colleague above, using the date field you will indeed be able to handle the date when the submission will be sent and use this on your form.
