Submission Date token getting shortened?

asked on August 21, 2014

I am not sure if this is a workflow issue or forms issue, but this problem came up when using a token from forms and storing it into a token in workflow. I wanted to retrieve the files that were saved to Laserfiche from the form process, so I took the various tokens and made 1 folderpath token after retrieving forms content properly. The issue is that when forms saved the files, it does it in mm/dd/yyy %h:%m:ss tt formatting, yet when i made my token, the token for submission date got shortened somehow. 

 

I was wondering if this is how it should work or if this is a bug. I tracked the tokens in a test after I found this problem and noticed the submission date token from the Retrieve Laserfiche Forms Content activity was perfect and exactly as expected, but when combining tokens, it was shortened to be mm/dd/yyy %h:%m tt which is not the same and caused problems.

WF rounds off the seconds for time tokens when used as strings.

Anyone know anything about this? It's easy to correct for with formatting if you knew it would happen, but it seems a bit silly that this doesnt work naturally out of the box where it keeps the formating

Kenneth. How did you resolve this? My first thought would be to use workflow to rename the file after Forms saves to remove the seconds?
