Use {{formatDate ...} formatter with ABAP - like Dates (YYYYMMDD) possible ?

[andreas_wildner_pvc]

Dear all,

I am trying to format a ODATA - Date field which is stored using the format YYYYMMDD (abap-style) as a readable output eg DD.MM.YYYY.

api_service_response.default.body.d.results.[0].SHIP_DATE ==> 20200902

eg {{formatDate api_service_response.default.body.d.results.[0].SHIP_DATE "DD.MM.YYY"}} ==> invalid date

Has anyone solved this problem or do I have to change my backend in order to get it working ?

Thanks for any hint,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

this input date format is unfortunately not supported. You could find all currently supported input date formats in the documentation of the scripting syntax in the section dates over here.

Sorry for the inconvenience and best regards,

Stephan
