Date Picker

An element that enables the user to select a date.

The Date Format property

In Winshuttle Composer, Date values are stored internally with the "yyyy-mm-dd" date format. You can define the format for the date (for example, mm/dd/yyyy).

In addition, you can define your own date format. The Date Format property, however, is for display purposes only and is not the value being saved.

The date format can be combinations of the following:

d - day of month (no leading zero)
dd - day of month (two digit)
o - day of the year (no leading zeros)
oo - day of the year (three digit)
D - day name short
DD - day name long
m - month of year (no leading zero)
mm - month of year (two digit)
M - month name short
MM - month name long
y - year (two digit)
yy - year (four digit)
@ - Unix timestamp (ms since 01/01/1970)
! - Windows ticks (100ns since 01/01/0001)
'...' - literal text
'' - single quote
anything else - literal text

Converting the date format for upload

Note: If you are using the Value Setter node in the workflow, you must use the default yyyy-mm-dd format; otherwise, the date will not be set. For uploading to SAP in the required format, see the instructions below.

If a different format is required to correctly input the date into another service, such as SAP, do the following:

Add a new field to the solution tree (wherever is appropriate for your form).
Bind the newly added field to the field displayed on the Form View.
Add a Set Action Rule to the field displayed in the form view that sets the value of the input field of the Web service to the format required.

Example:

formatDate($form.getValue('/my:myFields/my:dateString'),"mm.dd.yyyy");
