Document Templates - Format Date

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

Hi Guys,

Hope you're all doing well! I'm struggling with formatting a merge field in a Word Template on a entity in CRM.

Even though I look at the this article: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/microsoft-dynamics-crm-forum/206907/crm-word-template---format-date it doesn't work using the code.

The field i'm mapping is a Date and Time field, and I would like to change the front properties, rather than switching this field in CRM to a Date only field. 

Who can help???? We tried using the following by pressing CTRL + F9 {DATE createdon \ @ "dd-MM-yyyy"} but it gives the currentdate instead of the formatted createdon field.

Look forward hearing from you soon!!

Kind regards,

Ellen

    I agree.  I am having the same issue and every article I find tells you to use the above but it only gives today's date, which I am not after I am after the date in CRM (12/12/19) to show as 12 December 2019.  Is this possible as it is very frustrating having to reformat every letter and certificate to the correct date formatting
