Hi all,

I am very new in this. First time using LiveCycle Designer.

I have a form which I generate a Barcode from a value taken from another Date form field in the same form.
The problem is the Date form field is formated in DD/MM/YYYY but the Barcode will only generate the result as YYYY-MM-DD.
Can anyone advise me how to change the format of the Barcode to generate the value correctly as DD/MM/YYYY?
The Barcode I am using is Code 128.

Regards,
Charles

Hi,

you first should add this pattern in your date field for the display and data values.

date{DD/MM/YYYY}

Then you get the formatted Value of this date field for your barcode.

this.rawValue = DateField1.formattedValue;
