You can actually do this in a calculation field within the app if needed with javascript.

var today = $sample_date;

var dd = today.getDate();

var mm = today.getMonth() + 1;

var yyyy = today.getFullYear();

var sample;

if (ISNEW) {

sample = CONCAT(mm, dd, yyyy, '-', $fixture_id_final);

}

SETRESULT(sample);

This is a calc field I use to set a custom sample name.

If you are pulling data out through the query API you can write the SQL statement to output the date in whatever format you want.

TO_CHAR(cs_shift_date, 'mm-dd-yy') AS cs_shift_date

Completely agree - the MM-DD format is so alien outside the US

As a new user of Fulcurm and not located in North America the USA date format causes confusion early in the year and/or before the 13th of any month.
