Issues with common and workflow variables

So I'm trying to format the current date using the inline functions, to do this I'm using build string action. However, the build string action is not functioning properly.

 

When I use the common variables or the workflow variables, it returns the same input...

Input: fn-FormatDate({Common:CurrentDate}, {textstart}yyyy-MM-ddT{textend})

output: fn-FormatDate({Common:CurrentDate}, {textstart}yyyy-MM-ddT{endtext})

 

However, when I enter today's date manually, it works perfectly.

 

Input: fn-FormatDate(5/24/2015,{textstart}yyyy-MM-ddT{textend})

output:2015-05-24T

 

 

Why the workflow variables value is not showing as expected??

    I think you are trying to RUN only Build string action through designer and checking output.

    You should run complete workflow and check for output.

    Yes, you're right. I have realized this late.. It's really time consuming having to publish the workflow and run it again to check for output over and over again. I think Nintex should definitely work on the RUN action feature a bit more, it's pointless if its there but it doesn't show the output. Anyway, thanks Rohan Mhatre.
