Question

Convert Datetime to String Inline

Is there a way to convert a Datetime variable to string-type in line?

 

For instance, lets say I assign the current date to "Today-Date" variable.

 

Can I then type $Today-Date:ToString$ or something like that in a message box action so that the date is converted to a string inline?

    Hi Sahana,

    The documentation you provided shows the separate "to string" action of the DateTime package. I want to avoid using extra actions.

    I wanted to know if I could bypass this action and instead directly convert a datetime to string in-line in any action, just like numbers and Booleans.

    Thanks,

    Logan

    @Logan Price​ These are called properties and can be created using package SDK easily.
