Date Time Today Format

I am wanting to add today's date in front of the subject heading, but I want it to be in the format of MM/DD/YY, so 2/11/21 for example. Is there a way to modify the formula to do this?

Hi @KmbrlyPC ,

 

Yes there is! Try using the following syntax within your formula tool expression editor:

 

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeToday(),"%m/%d/%y") + ' Cleaning Assigned'

 

See attached for an example workflow as well. Hope this helps!

 

 

Best,
