How can I format a date from a dynamic expression?

Athento allows you to apply formatting to dates when evaluating dynamic expressions, for example, when extracting the value of a field to the time, generating a document from a template, etc.

To do this, you have to use the "strftime" method on some attribute of the Athento entities of type date. For example, to apply format to the creation date of a document, the following expression must be applied:

fil.creation_date.strftime(<format>)

If the dynamic expression for field extraction is specified, the result will be:

fil.creation_date.strftime('%B %d %Y')

This can be used in a word template to generate documents with "{{ fil.creation_date.strftime('%B %d %Y') }}".

Valid formatting codes can be found in the Python library documentation.
