Liquid syntax to format date picker output in WebApp

[judemccarthy]

Hi there,

I have a web app that uses the date picker to set a date. In the listing for this app, I need to be able to format the date of this date picker calue. I have seen references in the documentation to formatting date st by the system, but not a date set by the date picker.

I have used:

<td>{{item.['authorised date'] | date: "%y-%M-%d"}}</td>

Where ['authorised date'] is a user input by the date picker.

Could I get some help in pointing out what I am missing?

Many thanks,

Jude.

Hi Jude,

Date fields require to be in the format they are in to work with BC.

So You will only be able to render the output differently.

I can not see anything wrong with what you posted here in that regard.

{{dateVariable | date: "%y-%M-%d"}}

Is another example. What is outputting?

Thanks for getting back to me Liam.

I have in my template:

<td>{{item.['authorised date'] | date: "%y-%M-%d" }}</td>

It is outputting:

<td>31-Jul-2017</td>

I am not sure what other details I can give you?

Many thanks,

Jude.

That is the format you have said for it to output.

all the date options are here:
Filters | Business Catalyst Support

All the %y etc is the bit you need to edit.
