What date format does the Date type field require?

asked on July 22, 2015

When trying to insert dates in the format mmddyyyy using workflow the system rejects it. When I apply the short date format "d" to the token it still gets rejected. The only solution I have found so far is to create this huge entry to insert dashes.

 

%(PatternMatching_Token 1#<(\d\d)\d{6}>#)-%(PatternMatching_Token 1#<\d\d(\d\d)\d{4}>#)-%(PatternMatching_Token 1#<\d{4}(\d{4})>#)

On the date formatting page https://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/workflow/9.2/en-us/LFWorkflow.htm#Resources/Tokens%20and%20Regex/Token Formatting--Date and Time.htm the top shows the different date time formats you can put a date into.  Workflow will recognize dates in any of those formats.

The default date format is based on the Windows date format for the Windows user used in the Workflow Server service login. The default on English US operating systems is M/d/yyyy.
