Alisha Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 Good afternoon, Please could we have some date only custom fields. I have used h_custom_21 for the Date Control in a capture, but when I use h_custom_21 in an email template, it inputs the time as well as the date. We would only like the date to show please. I have tried to use Cloud Automation Utilities to convert h_custom_21 to Date only (which seems like a complicated way to just display the Date), and put the result on the Timeline to check it and it does display the date only. I then update result in the custom field, but when using h_custom_21 in the email template, it still shows the time. A date only custom field would be really helpful here. Many thanks, Alisha 1
Steve Giller Posted April 18, 2023 Posted April 18, 2023 I'm not aware of any plans to change/add to the current Custom Fields, but if you convert the DateTime to Date in the format of your choice, then store it in a Text field this will prevent the Email Template from trying to format it.
Alisha Posted June 7, 2023 Author Posted June 7, 2023 Hi @Steve Giller, I stored the date in h_custom_e but in the Email Template, it outputs the date as 2023-06-07 (for today's date). Is there anyway to change the output to something less confusing, e.g. 7 June 2023, as it's not always clear if the date format is 7 June or 6 July, depending on which country you're from! Many thanks, Alisha
Steve Giller Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 Just to appease my pedantic side, 07-06-2023 can be confusing (mainly to Americans) but 2023-06-07 is always June 7th. However, the Hornbill iBridge Utilities operation has a Date Formatter function that may be of use. 1
