Customize display value for exported Date/Time data into Excel

Hey!

We have recently upgraded from Eureka Patch 11 to Fuji Patch 6 and have noticed a change in the format of the data that is exported into excel. I was able to find the following from the wiki "Date, Date-Time, and Time fields are all exported as their display values, displayed using a custom format instead of the system date format.".

So my question is, is the display value that is exported customizable? Is there a way to change the format back to the how it was before we upgraded to Fuji?

Previously date/time fields would export in the following format 'yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss'.

Currently date/time fields export in the following format 'mm-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss a'.

Thank you in advanced!

In sys_properties.list, look for a glide.sys.date_format... I was able to manipulate the way it exported through that.

There is no property that I'm aware of. You can format them in excel though. Select your column and press ctrl + 1. Then go to the date category and pick your desired date format.

You can also pick the custom category and create your own format.

Yes this is definitely an option, thank you. Unfortunately we do sometimes have some picky end-users.
