Hi,
Which is the best way to insert a date in this format
YYYY MM DD HH MM
(Year Month Day Hour Minute)
into a Text control ?

Thanks
Best

Hello Joseph,

If I understand well, probably the best way is to use the NewDate action to create a Date variable, and then, use the DateFormat action with the created Date variable. Something like the below one:

// Get the current data as a new Date variable<br>NewDate "[App.Timestamp]" "" "[MyDate]"</p>
<p>// Format the Date variable with our desired tokens<br>DateFormat "[MyDate]" "YYYY MM DD HH mm" "[MyFormattedDate]"</p>
<p>// Set the formatted date for the input value<br>SetVar "[Input1.Value]" "[MyFormattedDate]" "String"

Take a look at both NewDate action's reference and DateFormat action's reference.
