The date value comes from date variable in the flow designer:

I need help on switch it from 2024-06-30 to 06-30-2024 format.

Hi @Erica2 

You can create another flow variable and store the converted date using inline scripting.

var gd = new GlideDate(REFERENNCE TO YOUR DATE VARIABLE);

return gd.getByFormat('MM-dd-YYYY');

Then you can use the variable which have formatted date in description field.

If you don't want to use another variable you can directly use inline scripting in Description field value setting with same logic and construct entire description in script and return that value.

Hi @Erica2 

Try the script below.

var dt = fd_data._1__get_catalog_variables.recording_ends_date;

var gd = new GlideDate();

gd.setValue(dt);

return "Recording on:" + gd.getByFormat('MM-dd-YYYY');
