Hello community!

Does anyone know if or how to change the output formate of a date - field (e.g. End of employment) for a word document resulting from the "Create Word Template" process?

I want to change it from DD.MM.YY -> DD.MM.YYYY

Thank you!

Tom

Hi

I have been told (never tried it) this follow the same logic as mail merge formatting in Word. You can try below in your Word Template

RE: How to change field format output for word template?

if you edit the layout in word and select the content control (the date) and press the 3 elipses

with this highlighted press CTRL + F9 to insert field braces around the control and type DATE "yourfield\@dd-mm-yyy" like below

you should then see your date formatted in dd.mm.yyy
