How to change the date format when loading a mail template?

Question

I've created a mail template (module *email_template*), I load it before sending the mail (though the email.compose.message wizard) and it's working perfect.

However, in the template I'm showing a field of type date, and it's showing up with the format /*"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"*/. The problem is that that's not the date format of my language, I need /*"%d-%m-%Y %H:%M"*/.

I've tried with /*${my_date|dateformat("%d-%m-%Y %H:%M")}*/, but I've gotten an error. How can I achieve the new format?

Thank you

Hello,

Have you try with tz_format ? From memory, *it exists since saas-3 (So, it will not work in V7 :( ).*

*Example*;

${format_tz(object.name,object.employee_id.address_id.tz or 'Europe/Brussels','%m/%d/%Y %H:%M')}

*Info:*

* *

function format_tz(datetime, tz, format)}

datetime is required:
Be aware that this will only work with datetime. Not a string, or a date

tz is optional, function uses:
- tz param
- current user tz
- UTC

format is optional, function uses:
- format param
- format

Somdone from odoo told me it not possible to change format. It is fixed in YYYY-MM-DD. Not implemented by them.
