I have this value in the date field below. Now i want to change it to mm/dd/yyyy format. how can this be achieved?

```let dateStr = now.toLocaleDateString();

let dateStr =  `${now.getMonth()+1}/${now.getDate()}/${now.getFullYear()}`;```

either should work but depending on context the 2nd version is probably "safer", and given you're asking the question, do it the 2nd way :slightly_smiling_face:

You can use the N/format module to convert your date object into the string you want.

you can probably also use the NS format module? but again, context matters

``` const convertDateTimeToDate = (dateTimeStr) =&gt; {
            let date = new Date(dateTimeStr);
            let month = (date.getMonth() + 1).toString().padStart(2, '0');
            let day = date.getDate().toString().padStart(2, '0');
            let year = date.getFullYear();
            return `${month}/${day}/${year}`;
        };```

weird that you're in CST and you want the date in US format :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you all, it is working fine with toLocaleDateString()

it might now matter, but that will be environment dependent, and if its running in a client context, it will be, where is this person located, dependent
