I have a computed date field (date only, not timestamp) that uses the function firstTimeEntryDate() to find the earliest time entry on an item.
The output looks like this: Jan 13, 2014 GMT+00:00
I want to get rid of the useless "GMT" information.
My first instinct is to try to parse the date and reformat it, so I end up with something that looks like this:
timestamp(
concat(
Substring( MonthOfYearName( firstTimeEntryDate() ) , 1 , 3 ) ,
Text( " " ) , ToText( getDay( firstTimeEntryDate() ) ) ,
Text( ", " ) , ToText( getYear( firstTimeEntryDate() ) )
)
)
This doesn't work because "The Timestamp() function takes a single argument which must be a string in the format java.text.SimpleDateFormat".
I know I can do the parsing into a text field, but I want a date.
Does anybody have a solution to format a computed date field, or more specifically remove the GMT information?
