Technical Q&A

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to change the date order to DD/MM/YY in Shopify? If yes, how does it usually work?

2

Where exactly do you want to change the date format?

3

Basically all the dates in the store

4

You need to find date format of liquid code in your theme to change, for example to change published date of a blog article

{{ article.published_at | date: "%d/%b/%y" }}

I’ve been looking to change the date format for how a metafield date in Dawn is displayed and can’t find it. Where is it exactly??? When I put your suggested format I get “JSON: unexpected format error”. What is currently there is {{ product.metafields.my_fields.release_date | metafield_text }} Where/what is “metafield_text”? Where do I find this or create a new metafield type?

This is my full code:

"type": "text",
"settings": {
"text": "RELEASE DATE: {{ product.metafields.my_fields.release_date | metafield_text }} .AVAILABLE UNTIL: {{ product.metafields.my_fields.release_end_date | metafield_text }} (Midnight AEDST)",
"text_style": "caption-with-letter-spacing"
}
