Please see attachment. I would like to change the format of the date from 27/06/2017 to 27-Jun-2017. I tried the attached but does not work. I also tried fn-FormatDate({CurrentDate}, "dd-MMM-yyyy") with same result.

use directly formatting string (or a formula that evaluated to formatting string)

eg.

note however, formatting string is applied just in VIEW form.

in NEW and EDIT modes date format follows site settings and you can not change it.
