Using a date field in Workflow ignores the Workflow Server's regional language settings for date format

asked on August 7, 2014

When using a Date field as part of a document name in Workflow it always converts to text as:

 

mm/dd/yyyy

 

This is regardless of my Workflow Server regional language date setting for short date to be:

 

yyyy/mm/dd

 

I have also used formatting to specific short date ("d") and when I test the formatting in the token dialog it appears to work but during the workflow it's still mm/dd/yyyy when it's used in a text field.

 

What am I missing or how do I get yyyy/mm/dd?

Changing the default date format for Local System is possible but necessarily easy. It's probably easier to change the service user to a domain user.

Ah.. Workflow service is logging in as Local System. Will I need to change that to be a separate user login or can I adjust for that?

The date format is per Windows user. Did you change it for the user specified in the Workflow Server service login?
