WDAY and MONTH variables in reply template

Hi,

 

we're trying to use another formatting for the date in a reply template in Service.

 

The string I have right now below, but it does not work.

Either it’s the wrong syntax (which I do not know) or that the table used does not support it. It is the WDAY and MONTH variables we are struggling with.

 

%FORMAT_DATE:ticket.x_do_by, "WDAY DD2th of MONTH YY4", "Januari,Februari,Mars,April,Maj,Juni,Juli,Augusti,September,Oktober,November,December","Söndag,Måndag,Tisday,Onsdag,Torsdag,Fredag,Lördag"%

 

Does anyone know how to format this correctly in a reply template? 

 

Regards

Mats Myrvold

A working example which I have used in the customer center:

%FORMAT_DATE: ticket.x_last_external_message,"MONTH DD1 YY4, H12:MI2 AMPM","January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December","Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday"%

Trying using [[ ]] around instead of % %.

I tried this myself. It seems that the reply template editor encodes quotes when using % around. But when using the brackets, it seems better.

Also, the bracket is the new way to do it, while the percentage is old, and should be avoided.
