Date format (in PDF Template Designer)

Unread post by Christian Kessner »

Hello,

I'm trying to format the date in the PDF Template Print Manual Designer.
I put it like this:

<%DATE yyyy-mm-dd%>

And sadly this is exactly what is printed in the PDF:

<%DATE yyyy-mm-dd%>

If I only use <%DATE%>, it works, only in the "wrong" format (dd/mm/yyyy).

Am I doing something wrong or does this not work?

Hi Christian,

You just left out the brackets around the formatting string. You need to use this:

<%DATE(yyyy-mm-dd)%>
