Hi Hitesh,

In Outsystems Mobile, you can use the following Built In function.
Checkout this link.

Example:

Syntax:
FormatDateTime(#2015-06-09 10:05:20#, "ddd, dd MMM yyyy")

Result:
Tue, 09 Jun 2015

Hi Muhammad,

Yes, I am using Input type as Date.

Hi Hitesh,

You need to put a textbox and bind that textbox with a variable(SelectedDateVar) date type.

You need to call event Calendar on change and using formatDateTime function you can change datetime format as per requirement.

Hi,

We use the date format 31/02/2022 and the system is defined as 2022-02-31

See example where you can see the date in local format below (this will be presented to the users) and the date format of the system (this will not be presented to the users but the date will be saved like this in the database):

As explained above and with some additional twisting I now have the following solution:

When the user enters data in the system:

I defined the input field with a local TEXT variable (DateVARasText) and attached a DatePicker with the Format I want:

Now when the user selects his date, the handler translates the text to the date format of the system using assign: 

DateInSystem = TextToDate(Substr(StartDate,0,4)+"-"+Substr(StartDate,5,2)+"-"+Substr(StartDate,8,2))

When the user wants to review data from the system, when opening the page I have to translate the DateInSystem to text format and enter it in my local variable (DateVARasText) using assign: 

DateVARasText = Substr(DateToText(MainReportById.List.Current.ActualReport.DateInSystem),8,2)+"/"+Substr(DateToText(MainReportById.List.Current.ActualReport.DateInSystem),5,2)+"/"+Substr(DateToText(MainReportById.List.Current.ActualReport.DateInSystem),0,4)

Hope this is clear enough.
