External data datetime format

JL_18346 — Fri, 30 Apr 2021 22:03:55 GMT

Hi everyone,

I've created a "thing" with a property named ExpirationDate with a basetype of DateTime. I the date displaying in an experience.

The issue is the date displays as "2021-04-30T21:54:03.225Z". Is there a way to change the format so the data appears as month/day/year(e.g. 4-30-2021)?

Thanks in advance.

It can be accomplished by Instance methods

Add below to filter

return value.getMonth() + 1 + "/" + value.getDate() + "/" + value.getFullYear()

Thanks for the response. You mention to add it to the filter, but what filter are you referring? I don't see a filter in either composer or Studio.

thanks
