Is it possible to have a date field display the zero's instead of eliminating them? We would want them to display as 03/04/2015 instead of 3/4/2015.
The field format property is for displaying data only.
Can you clarify the process and product you're using to name these documents based off the date field token?
Are you using Laserfiche Scanning, filling out the date field for the document, using the date field token as part of the document name, and storing it into Laserfiche? If that's the scenario, then you would need to go into the Windows Control Panel and change the Regional Settings such that the short date format is MM/dd/yyyy. Note that this only affects the specific Windows user logged into the machine so as long as that's the user logging into Windows to then do the scanning and file naming, then it will work.
If the above isn't the scenario, can you describe in detail what the process is?
Yes, you can change the field format of your Date field. In the Administration Console, view the properties of the field and use a custom date format.
We did this and it works for the field, however when we use this field in a token to name a document it reverts back and doesnt keep the zero's.

You can choose how you want dates to be formatted in tokens. For example, %(Date;MM/dd/yyyy). The format is specified by using a semicolon after the name of the token, followed immediately by the token format. This works for date and number tokens.
