Date Format

Hi,

When I use the format date function here
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Functions#CommCareFunctions-format-date
what argument do I use to display the full day of the month i.e. ‘%a’ =
three letter short text day (Sun, Mon etc), I want to be able to print
Sunday, Monday etc in full

Kind regards,

Hi Sam,

Unfortunately I think that this is not currently possible. You'd probably
need to use some mapping (in a fixture or if() statement) between the value
output by %a and the full day string in order to do this.

Cheers,
Will
