How to set the Date Format

msm4 · ‎07-06-2017

Hi,

I have written some Validation to the Date Field , i.e, The Date field should be filled by default on "Onload" with some specific Date.

Everything is working fine except the Date Format. OnLoad the Date format is "YYYY_MM_DD" but on selection of any date, the format is different "DD_MM_YYYY".

I want the default Date format in "DD_MM_YYYY", how to set that , Can anyone please help me out.

Thanks in Advance.

BR.

Since GlideDate() as well as GlideDateTime() always use yyyy-mm-dd, you can change the format of your return value of dat by just adding .getDisplayValue():

return dat.getDisplayValue();

That will give you the format of whatever the user has even if they are using something else such as mm-dd-yyyy

Yes it does. If you want, just impersonate a different user, change their date format, then test your functionality.

Thank you Christopher. It worked.

it comes from system property 'glide.sys.date_format'. you can change as per your requirement.
