Can you provide a little bit more context, a description of the actual problem you are trying to solve?
Where and for what purpose do you want to do this?

Hi @Lanre Ololade , 

I dont think we can change dateformat via regex, as regex is checking the input value based on given pattern but not changing the input.

You can change the dateFormat using the getByFormat() method. Check the below code.

var gd = new GlideDate();
gs.info("Default  "+gd);
var formattedDate = gd.getByFormat('dd-MM-yyyy');
gs.info("dd-MMYYYY " +formattedDate);

-Thanks,

I am trying to change the date format on a task I am working on. Will the code only apply to the task i am trying to complete or will it affect evrything on the system?
