InfoMaker - How to format text in a datawindow/report to show a specific Date format

Symptom

Using InfoMaker and a third party product where a table is mapped to a predefined template.

A text field is populated with a date, but the format of the date is not in the format of 'YY-MM-DD'.

Resolution

InfoMaker does have capabilities to format columns using editmask and formats. Unfortunately that is not

available for a textobject.

A workaround is to create a new computed field and add the computed expression of:

string(date(describe("date_1.text")),"YY-MM-DD")

Uncheck the visible property for the date_1 (textobject) field.
