Date format in email from Forms - no Token Editor?

Forms Version 10
Updated December 12, 2016
asked on December 9, 2016

Our Form process is set up so that, if our Approver hits the Reject button, an email goes to the Applicant that says, " ...your application for a fire permit on (start date) has been denied ...".

My problem is with the date format.  It's coming in as 26/12/2016 and I want it to show as December 26, 2016 (on the email only).  The long date format is not available in the field's date format options and even if it was, I wouldn't want to set it as the long format for everything (just for the email).  Is there another way to accomplish this in the email?

You can go to C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\Laserfiche Forms\Forms\bin and edit RoutingEngineServiceHost.exe.config and change the values of following two appSettings

 <add key="UseSystemDateTimeFormat" value="false" />
 <add key="DefaultDateFormat" value="MMMM dd,yyyy" />

Then restart Laserfiche Forms Routing Service. This will make all the date processed by Laserfiche Routing Service to use that format which include the date in Email Service Task/Save To Repository Service Task/Workflow Service Task.

Thanks, Xiuhong.  I will bring this info to my IT's attention for discussion regarding our options, but will probably not attempt it yet.  If I understand correctly, this will make every date throughout the Forms module formatted this way.  I was hoping to only have the dates in the email tasks formatted this way.

Forms does not support custom date formatting on a per activity basis at this time. You could pass the email task to Workflow through a service task and do your formatting there.
