Hi Nasreen,

Once you have the dates stored you can display it in the text or the date picker widgets, and select the custom date format and represent the needed date format for “3 Jun 2020 1:49 PM” you can use “d MMM yyyy h:mm a”

Hi,

In addition to the answer provided by Chetan, you can use the last changed date, which will show the last time/date an attribute in the entity was changed.

If you want to show the last time/date of other actions, for example a file download, you will have to make this yourself. To do this, create an attribute called ‘last activity’ and ‘last activity time’ whenever a file is downloaded you should kick of a microflow, which sets the last activity to donwload and the date time to currentDateTime. This way you can show the date of any activity you want.

Hope this helps!
