Date Format Change

[MLong1427]

How can I change a date format of a field to use in an output?  This is different from using java in file naming.

YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss

Hi,

1) If you are trying to change date format in Email Design :

You can change your date format by using Format expression.

Use below in your HTML code:

data-nl-format="%4Y-%2M-%2D %2h:%2n:%2s"

Something like this: 

<p >Booking Date:<span  data-nl-type="datetime"  data-nl-format="%4Y-%2M-%2D %2h:%2n:%2s">Booking Date </span></p>

2) If you are trying to change date format in a workflow, you can use below code:

const FORMAT_120 ="%4Y-%2M-%2D %2h:%2n:%2s"
instance.vars.workflowExecutionInitiatedAt=formatDate(date,FORMAT_120);

Thanks

@Jyoti_Yadav do you know where one can find these attributes such as data-nl-format is there a guide to them?

1) does not work in email but you can see them in forms in web apps

[Jyoti_Yadav]

For email you need to use script provided in second point. Use them under

<% %> tags.

something like this:

<%

var FORMAT_120 ="%4Y-%2M-%2D %2h:%2n:%2s"
var workflowExecutionInitiatedAt=formatDate(date,FORMAT_120);

%>

and then display in email as : <%=workflowExecutionInitiatedAt%>

Number 2 will work in Email. But Number 1 is not working in webForms.
