Display date in European fashion

[Piotr]

Is there any setting to make it ‘normal order’ D.M.Y or Y.M.D?

I’m using a Python script to customize the date the way I want it.

date_today.gh (5.1 KB)

Thanks!
How about a guy who doesn’t know python and wants the date displayed as YYYY.MM.DD?

[martinsiegrist]

Learn Python. Or use Deconstruct Date and concatenate

[Piotr]

Learning Python is on my to do list.
Deconstructing date is faster

I want to get better in Python so I can do more complicated stuff. I often struggle with seemingly simple scripts … So many things to learn …

Hi Piotr -

Does this one help?

Get current time - bug in date format

And you can format a date using the Format component: [datetime%20formatting]

I evolved from concept designer to more computational stuff. I’m quite good at finding solutions and bypassing some problems, yet I often notice how much I have to learn to master Gh, let alone Python (possibly) or C# (probably never).
The one you’ve just posted is a great example of it.
