Hi, Document Generation uses JSONata behind the scenes, but currently, date formatting (https://docs.jsonata.org/date-time-functions) is broken. I've reported it. You can, however, format your dates in your data *before* you send it to our API. Make sense?

Yep, but to be clear, you can still just format it yourself.

A little late, but to be clear, you don't have to add anything to your database. You would get your data, reformat the values in your code before sending it to the API.
