 Hi, is there a way to change the Date Long format to all capital letters? I tried setting a new expression property using Upper expression but I could not call out a system date long autotext. I tried to look for mac date formatting option but could not see all caps format. 

 

I'm using Archicad 26 Mac mini m1 macos ventural 13.6.5

 

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon ventura 13.6.5

Hi @sheena 

 

As far as I know, date is not one of the data types available for properties, so maybe that's why you can't do much with it (you can fake it with the string type).

There are some AutoText fields with date formatting but they usually depend on regional settings of the operative system you have. Try changing it and restart your computer to see if it works. Anyway, capital letters is also not one of the options available for dates in the computer settings so...

😬

 

Best regards.

Might be possible in GDL using the Datetime add-on, if this is just being used as a label somewhere.
