We have a custom date attribute that has stopped working correctly, it is set for indicating a new user's start date in an account creation form. This is then used to generate a username automatically for the user with the below code;

%firstname:lower,1%%lastname:lower,2%%adm-CustomAttributeDate1:format[ddMMyy]%

ie. Homer Simpson with a start date of 09/03/23 would generate the username hsi090323

however the formatting rule is not followed, there is not 2 digits for the day or month and the time is always included; Screenshot 2023-03-09 180422.png

Is this by design or a flaw? should i now create the code a different way to get the result i need?

Also the date is the wrong way round, the server is set as a UK date/time format.

Hello,

Unfortunately, this is a known issue in Adaxes. It will be fixed in the future releases. As of now, you can use business rules to set the required property values using the same value references. We apologize for the inconveniences.
