I am using Version 5.5.1 and want to formate data in the Invitation Call template. If I change {{dateStart}} with something else on sending Invitation giving error "Bad Server Response"

If you are using 5.8.0 or higher, here is what you need to use. PS: I dont think it work for email template?

Using this as reference: https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...ime-formatting

This code is in the example, but we want it for {{dateStart}} ------> {{dateFormat now_RAW format='MMMM DD, YYYY HH:mm'}}
So new code is:

{{dateFormat dateStart_RAW format='MMMM DD, YYYY HH:mm'}}

Now use this https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...-formatting.md
If you want to format in whichever you want. For example, instead of MMMM, you can change it to MM in the code above.

Hello,
you can make a workaround. Create a new 'date' type field for the Call entity. Then using Formula push to this field a date value from the dateStart field. Afte, you will be able to choose this field for your template.
Note that Formula uses the beforeSaveScript that means you need to press save button to run formula. For the existed records to run Formula you need to make some changes and press save. For the new records, the date value will be set automatically upon new record creation.
I suggest you to upgrade your EspoCRM instance. Many enhancements were embedded for the last year https://forum.espocrm.com/forum/announcements.
