Formatting ANY_DATE in HMI symbol

PLCnext Engineer

Hi all,
I am experimenting with the alarming system in PLCNext Engineer and was wondering if there is a way to format ANY_DATE variables.
Currently the entire datetime string shows when linking the ActiveStateChanged variable of the alarm server to a text element.

Is it possible to, for instance, only show the time, or only the date?
Thank you.

I found this troublesome too! So i just “capped” the width of the text label so that the time zone and all information after that is not visible.

Well, it might be a bit a of a workaround, but it definitely works! :smiley:
Thanks, fluxmodel.
