External data datetime format

[JL_18346]

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
