Change in date format in approvals

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 151

Hi guys!
I have an automation that sends an approval request.
This approval uses in its text a date in a sharepoint list, however, in sharepoint the date is in the correct format but in the approval it is not.
Example:

On sharepoint:

Guicord101_0-1653491594716.png


On powerautomate:

Guicord101_1-1653491605891.png

I would like in powerautomate to be the same in sharepoint.

    @Guicord101 ,

    Can you share the approval action as image, eventually the formula you use for date part. 

    There is a formatDateTime function that helps you to "arrange" date in desired format like this:

    formatDateTime('yourDateValueBroughtFromSharepoint','dd/MM/yyyy')

    Insert this kind of function in your approval text.

    Hi! 
    My approval action looks like this, where can I use this "FormatDateTime" formula?

    Delete the existing Data_inicial and with help of + add dynamic content (there is a small text), expression tab write the formula from my previous post.

    When trying to do this, I cannot find my sharepoint field.
    Is there another way to write?
