Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I'm trying to build a flow that uses a form that asks for today's date, the name of a student, their campus, the fundings, the effective date on the fundings, and a multiple choice for the current services of the student. The issue is that when a form is filled out, the dates are displayed as yyyy/mm/dd despite the fact that it was entered into the system as mm/dd/yyyy, and it keeps this issue when the flow sends all of the information as an email. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I also am trying to fix an issue with the multiple-choice question displaying brackets and double quotes. My main question is where do I find the question ID? I need that in order to run the function in a compose action that I've seen other solutions try and all mention succeeding with. Thank you in advance

Hi,

You can change the format of the displayed date, such as in an email, by using a quick compose action and using the formatDateTime() expression.

One other thing to consider, the next time you update your Form, is to consider dropping the Today's date question all-together. That's because the submitted date is automatically captured for you and you can just refer to the submission date as "today's date". I will provide that example below.

In general terms, I try to eliminate questions that are already collected by the form. Regardless, I hope I helped you out tonight!

To answer your second question, you get the question dynamic content by using the action "Get response details" and use the ID from the trigger. This will give you the dynamic content for your questions (see my examples above).
