Changing Date Format to Write in a File

Unknown

Hi, I have a flow thats supposed to write a timestamp for the current date in a different format from the usual Decisions DateTime format. The desired format is yyyymmdd, but Decisions uses mm/dd/yyyy by default. How can I re-format a date to yyyymmdd?

Hello. Since the formatted date will be written to a file, you can use the Merge Text Editor to re-arrange the mm/dd/yyyy format to yyyymmdd format by selecting individual properties from a DateTime variable. It is important to note that days 1-9 in a month will appear as a single digit in the Merge Text Editor, so Ive used a rule and a separate text merge to add a 0 before the day. Ive attached a demo flow that re-formats the current date from mm/dd/yyyy to yyyymmdd.
