How to change email template date format

I can get it to save if I edit Source:

But even just editing and saving after that causes an error.

It looks like there may be an issue with the editor.

One alternative you could look at is using a file instead of the in-built editor – available under “Create Template From”.

Hi,

For an individual field, you can use this:

?string("dd/MM/yyyy")

Alternatively, adding this at the tope of your template should set the default string format for dates:

<#setting date_format="d MMM yyyy">

Thanks,

Thanks Chris for response!

But with  this ${transaction.trandate?string(“dd/MM/yyyy”)}

I am getting following error

The template cannot be saved due to the following errors:
Syntax error in template “content” in line 3, column 46:. Encountered “style”, but was expecting one of these patterns:.
<TERMINATING_EXCLAM>
<DOT_DOT_LESS>.
“*” “?”. “??” “!”.
“T”. “(“.”)”.
Parse exception during template merging.

Are you able to share a larger section of your template?

Thanks,

Chris

Here it is

I think something unexpected might have copied across. Could you please view the Source.

But when I simply print {transaction.trandate} it prints properly. I am not getting why error comes while converting.

Did you type ${transaction.trandate?string(“dd/MM/yyyy”)} or copy it from here?

If you copied it then it can sometimes bring across additional formatting, etc.

Now I tried by typing but then also getting same error

Apologies – could you try this:

?string["dd/MM/yyyy"]

i.e. square braces. I copied the code from some documentation but missed that.
