Dates and Times

Generate a Zulu Date and/or Time value for a property in your schema, which will be generated and added to the Record at the time a Record is created. Use the following variables in the format as you see fit to customize the generated value based on your needs.

  • If format is unspecified, the default pattern is 2024-05-09T15:28:51.572Z.

  • yyyy = the year as 4 digits

  • M = the month as 1 or 2 digits

  • MM = the month as 2 digits

  • d = the day as 1 or 2 digits

  • dd = the day as 2 digits

  • D = the day, month and year as 5/9/2024

  • DD = the day, month and year as May 9, 2024

  • h = the hour as 1 or 2 digits, 12 hour clock

  • HH = the hour as 2 digits, 24 hour clock

  • m = minute as 1 or 2 digits

  • mm = minute as 2 digits

  • ss = second as 2 digits

  • SSS = millisecond as 3 digits

  • a = AM or PM

  • t = time as 3:06 PM

  • tt = time as 3:06:22 PM

  • T = time as 15:06

  • TT = time as 15:06:22

  • 'custom string' = the custom string value
