Hi,

In your workflow designer, look for the inline functions in the context browser. There should be a function called Format Date and Time which allows you to format your date. Check out the help document here on how to use that function to format your date.

When using the Format Date Time function, you may find the following article helpful:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings

This will give you the many options that are avaible for formating, such as MM (Month) and mm (Minutes).

I want to store the date in the format it is YYYY/MM/DD, but present it within an email as the more readable format.

It sounds like I need to just keep it as a separate field.  At least that is what I am pursuing.

Thanks!

formatting the date in another field marked invisible using an expression is what I needed.

Thanks for the suggestions.

When using a SmartObject of Date or DateTime the actual value is always stored in a standard format.  Only the visual display of the data is changed with control styles or with the formatting function.
