Email Notifications not showing Long Date
I have a workflow which triggers an email notification to users. In the body of the email I have two dates mentioned using the {{ }} to reference the date fields. Both date fields are formatted in the sheet as a long date i.e. Thursday, May 18, 2023. In the body of the email only one date shows in the long format, the other shows as 05/18/23.
Why is that?
Has anyone else seen this issue?

ker9 ✭✭✭✭✭✭I did a little test and the only way I get the date spelled out is if it is in a Text column and spelled out as text. The date in my notification always appeared as 5/18/23 no matter how it was formatted and whether it was in {{}} or as a field. Is it possible your spelled out field is in a Text column?

@ker9Thank you, that was it, the first date is a text field. The second was a date field. I converted the latter to a text field and put in a formula to write out the long date and it worked. Thank you !!

This method does produce separate reports:<\/p>
The Project Plan report will include this filter: \"Sheet Type\" is one of \"Project Plan\" -- this filter will exclude rows coming from the RAID Log (and all other types of sheets) because those other sheets will have a value in their \"Sheet Type\" column that is not \"Project Plan.\" <\/p>
The RAID Log report will include this filter: \"Sheet Type\" is one of \"RAID Log\" -- this filter will exclude rows coming from the Project Plan (and all other types of sheets) because those other sheets will have a value in their \"Sheet Type\" column that is not \"RAID Log.\" <\/p>
Thus, each report will include a filter rule specifying that only rows with its own sheet type can be included.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":265,"urlcode":"Reports","name":"Reports"}]},{"discussionID":108417,"type":"question","name":"How do i set up a conditional format, when i want more than one person in the assigned to column","excerpt":"I have each assigned to person with conditional format with a color to let them know what they are assigned to work, but what if i need two or more associates to work that particular assignment, how do i set up conditional formatting for that, or would that be a formula?","snippet":"I have each assigned to person with conditional format with a color to let them know what they are assigned to work, but what if i need two or more associates to work that…","categoryID":321,"dateInserted":"2023-08-02T14:26:40+00:00","dateUpdated":null,"dateLastComment":"2023-08-02T15:27:36+00:00","insertUserID":159629,"insertUser":{"userID":159629,"name":"Genesia","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Genesia","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-02T20:20:14+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"updateUserID":null,"lastUserID":159629,"lastUser":{"userID":159629,"name":"Genesia","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Genesia","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-02T20:20:14+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":2,"countViews":25,"score":null,"hot":3381977656,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108417\/how-do-i-set-up-a-conditional-format-when-i-want-more-than-one-person-in-the-assigned-to-column","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108417\/how-do-i-set-up-a-conditional-format-when-i-want-more-than-one-person-in-the-assigned-to-column","format":"Rich","tagIDs":[245,254,334,437],"lastPost":{"discussionID":108417,"commentID":388509,"name":"Re: How do i set up a conditional format, when i want more than one person in the assigned to column","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/388509#Comment_388509","dateInserted":"2023-08-02T15:27:36+00:00","insertUserID":159629,"insertUser":{"userID":159629,"name":"Genesia","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Genesia","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-02T20:20:14+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"}},"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/"},{"name":"Get Help","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/get-help"},{"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"image":{"url":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/9VLKF1G9AO1Q\/image.png","urlSrcSet":{"10":"","300":"","800":"","1200":"","1600":""},"alt":"image.png"},"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-08-03T09:17:11+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-08-02T14:42:44+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":388483,"body":"
