Hi guys, been looking through the forums, and I'm not sure how to use [CREATEDATE:XXX] can you specify any date format where the XXX is? like [CREATEDATE:MM/dd/yy] or do you substitute something else there? I saw there was something about editing the xml file associated, is this still necessary with this token? could you provide a few examples of other formats that can be used? (For example, is the / free text, etc.) Thank you for your help!

The XXX uses the .net date formatting expressions. e.g. [CREATEDATE:MMM dd yyyy] A full list of date formatting expressions are:- Dates Note that date formatting is especially dependant on the system’s regional settings; the example strings here are from my local locale. Specifier Type Example (Passed System.DateTime.Now) d Short date 10/12/2002 D Long date December 10, 2002 t Short time 10:11 PM T Long time 10:11:29 PM f Full date & time December 10, 2002 10:11 PM F Full date & time (long) December 10, 2002 10:11:29 PM g Default date & time 10/12/2002 10:11 PM G Default date & time (long) 10/12/2002 10:11:29 PM M Month day pattern December 10 r RFC1123 date string Tue, 10 Dec 2002 22:11:29 GMT s Sortable date string 2002-12-10T22:11:29 u Universal sortable, local time 2002-12-10 22:13:50Z U Universal sortable, GMT December 11, 2002 3:13:50 AM Y Year month pattern December, 2002 The ‘U’ specifier seems broken; that string certainly isn’t sortable. Custom date formatting: Specifier Type Example Example Output dd Day {0:dd} 10 ddd Day name {0:ddd} Tue dddd Full day name {0:dddd} Tuesday f, ff, … Second fractions {0:fff} 932 gg, … Era {0:gg} A.D. hh 2 digit hour {0:hh} 10 HH 2 digit hour, 24hr format {0:HH} 22 mm Minute 00-59 {0:mm} 38 MM Month 01-12 {0:MM} 12 MMM Month abbreviation {0:MMM} Dec MMMM Full month name {0:MMMM} December ss Seconds 00-59 {0:ss} 46 tt AM or PM {0:tt} PM yy Year, 2 digits {0:yy} 02 yyyy Year {0:yyyy} 2002 zz Timezone offset, 2 digits {0:zz} -05 zzz Full timezone offset {0:zzz} -05:00 : Separator {0:hh:mm:ss} 10:43:20 / Separator {0:dd/MM/yyyy} 10/12/2002
