Action

Posted by @sylumer, Last update 3 months ago - Unlisted

The first step sets the output format based on strftime formatting - see https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/System/Conceptual/ManPages_iPhoneOS/man3/strftime.3.html

The second step has the user choose a date and outputs the formatted date to a custom template tag.

The third step outputs text containing the tag’s content.
