In my inputFields of zapier, there's one field where the user can enter the date but I want the zapier to work only if I write the date in "2020-09-18T15:30" otherwise it should show a message that the data entered does not match the format specified. I tried this but it's not working.
const activityEditableFields = async (z, bundle) => {
if (bundle.inputData.dueDate) {
(/\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}Z/.test(`${bundle.inputData.dueDate}`))
}
here duedate in the field and I am giving the format that if there is data in it then it should match the specified format but there's no difference in the zap. If you can help me as soon as possible. Do reply.
This shouldn't be necessary. Per the docs:
DateTime fields let users enter dates and times, using their human readable values, machine readable datetimes, or standard English words for time like tomorrow. Zapier interperpates the date input from users and outputs a standard ISO 8601 datetime to your API.
If you declare the field as a datetime, then bundle.inputData.dueDate will always be a proper ISO 8601 datetime.
The easiest way I could find to workaround this issue was to use with JS code only the first 10 characters of the ISO8601 Zapier date.
bundle.inputData.dueDate.substr(0,10)
or to use moment to parse date (This library is supported by Zapier):
const moment = z.require('moment');
....
moment(bundle.inputData.dueDate).format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS UTC")
The only drawback is that you need to use the code editor

I am trying to convert a unix time to datetime depending on its locale given
Example I wanted to get locale Australia and convert UNIX time to date:
<#setting locale= getlocale>
<#assign unix = "1660545165"?number>
<#assign expiryDate = unix.getstarttime()?number?number_to_datetime?string["yyyy-mm-dd"]>
here is the time ${expiryDate}
I searched in google and suggested me to use getstarttime()?number?number_to_datetime?string["yyyy-mm-dd"]
However I am getting an error and currently stuck:
Expected a hash, but this has evaluated to a number
Lot of what's wrong I think is simply unnecessary there. Also based on the format you actually want a date, not a date-time. Here's a working example:
<#assign unixTime = 1660545165>
Here is the time: ${unixTime?number_to_date?string["yyyy-MM-dd"]}
Also usually you want to set the date_format setting to yyyy-MM-dd once (in the Java code, or with <#setting date_format = "yyyy-MM-dd"> near the top of the the template), and then just write ${unixTime?number_to_date} everywhere.
I have a lambda function that needs to store an item in a DynamoDB table that is going to be used by AppSync. I want to add a createdAt and a updatedAt field to the item, as AWSDateTime types, and set them to the time of their creation. As explained here I need to use An extended ISO 8601 date and time string in the format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ. I use:
import datetime from datetime
datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
but what it gives me is something like 2022-03-26T18:23:47Z instead of 2022-03-26T18:23:47.210Z for example (The three number-places after the second are absent).
Could you please help me fix this?
Milliseconds are optional. Reduced precision formats are valid ISO 8601 timestamps and thus valid AWSDateTime types.
If milliseconds are meaningful to your use case, there are several ways to add them:
datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f')[:-3] + 'Z'
datetime.now().isoformat(timespec='milliseconds') + 'Z'
# '2022-03-27T11:05:10.351Z'
Problem:
In a field called $Detailed Decription$ sometimes dateformat 08/09/2021 is enterd and this need to be converted to swedish format 2022-02-11
I'am going to use BMC Developer studio and make a filter but i cant find a fitting solution for it. Replacing it wont work (i think) becaus it need to have a value to replace it with.
Maby there can be a function that reads regex (\d{2})/(\d{1,2})/(\d{4}) but how can i convert it?
If it's sometimes - look at AR System User Preferencje form. Check certain user's locale and date time config.
Also is important where the data comes from. Could be a browser setting or java script mod.
1- Using Set fields action, copy the date value from Detailed Description to a Date/Time field (i.e. z1D_DateTime01).
2- Using Set fields action and Functions (MONTH, YEAR, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, SECOND) you can parse the date/time and convert it to format you like.
Something like this:
SwedishDate = YEAR($z1D_DateTime01$) + "-" + MONTH($z1D_DateTime01$) + "-" + DAY($z1D_DateTime01$)
This will capture the parts of date and combine them with "-" in the middle and in the order you want.
There is a finite list of date formats that users want to use to enter a date in a form. These formats include single digits for month and day and double digits for year. The field is represented by a dateText control.
How would one get to allow a dateText control to accept multiple date formats ? I see only 3 listed (https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GZCP_forms_dateText), do those include using single digits for month and day ?
I tried to set the value of format = "#(myPageProperty.myValue)# " but I got a compilation error in Studio so that went nowhere. Has anyone ever been able to set the format value depending on the user input value?
I am guessing that the control input value must be converted to the YYYY-MM-DD before validation. I am open to calling a javascript function to do that but where would be the best place to put it?
for details see Class %ZEN.Component.dateText
setting format:
Property format As %ZEN.Datatype.string(MAXLEN = 3, **VALUELIST = ",MDY,DMY,YMD",** ZENEXPRESSION = 1)
you have exactly 3 formats or ""
Your guess on values is correct and documented:
/// The value of this control is always in the canonical form: YYYY-MM-DD
As this is one of the oldest components of ZEN your only chance to achieve
your way of operation is to create your own version inheriting from
Class %ZEN.Component.dateText and overloading the parts you want to change
CodeIgniter stores timezones for its date class in
system/language/english/date_lang.php
I would like to change the strings in this file so that
$lang['UM12'] = '(UTC -12:00) Baker/Howland Island';
$lang['UM11'] = '(UTC -11:00) Samoa Time Zone, Niue';
would instead be
$lang['-12:00'] = '(UTC -12:00) Baker/Howland Island';
$lang['-11:00'] = '(UTC -11:00) Samoa Time Zone, Niue';
Is this possible at all?
Any change I make to the UM__ portion of one line makes it show as a blank on the dropdown. The remaining (unchanged) lines appear OK.
I have also tried to clone this file to application/language/english/ with similar bad results.
Any insights on this?
It looks like this would require hacks to the date_helper.php file which I am not willing to do.
Instead, the date class in CI has the timezones() function which allows you to convert from, for example, UM5 to -5. In that case one can wrap this function around the U__ value coming from the view/dropdown -- and then save it to DB as -5 or some other INT.
Since I want to show the user their selected timezone on that same dropdown, I am forced to have DB fields for the U__ and INT timezone formats. As far as I know, there is no CI function to convert from -5 to UM5.
So, for the user, I pull the U__ format into the view to autopopulate the dropdown.
For timezone conversions and such, I use the INT format.
