NetSuite provides a simple method to achieve this using the record.date?string(“MM/dd/YYYY”) syntax.
When working with dates in NetSuite templates, it’s essential to note that the format string is case-sensitive. Therefore, it’s crucial to capitalize the format specifiers correctly.
Using this syntax, you can customize the date format to suit your requirements. For instance, if you prefer the month to be displayed in full name format, you could use “MMMM” instead of “MM”. Similarly, if you want the year to be displayed in two-digit format, you could use “YY” instead of “YYYY”.
Here’s a breakdown of the syntax:
- record.date: This represents the date field in your record that you want to format.
- ?string(“MM/dd/YYYY”): This is the formatting function applied to the date field. Inside the parentheses, you specify the desired date format using format specifiers.
Incorrect casing or format specifiers may result in unexpected or incorrect date representations in your templates.
