Date Format to yyyy-MM-dd

Hi community,

So I have a date that comes from the source system as: 2020-02-23T00:00:00:000
I would like to convert that date to just 2020-02-23

Any thoughts?
Thanks.

  • The field is always there, but sometimes null.
    What I did was this:
    ($DATEFIELD != null ? $DATEFIELD.toString().substr(0,10) : $DATEFIELD)

    So that will just change the dates that are not equal to null.

    How about converting it to a string in that format and taking the substring:
    $myinputdate.toString().substr(0,10)

      Is the field always there, but sometimes has a value of null, or is it that the field itself may be missing?
