Column formatting for date column
Hello, I was trying to format Due Date column to show green with check mark if the Status is completed. However, after adding the column formatting code, it switched the date format from DD/MM/Y...
Make sure that you have excluded the time format as shown below
Also, you can format your date column in JSON like this
Date(@@currentField,toDateString())
Please Check the detail steps and most of the JSON Column Formatting tricks at SharePoint Date Column Formatting
Annoyingly, I still can't work out what to do to get this to maintain my local date format. I'd love some help (with an explanation for what is being changed). It's just setting the colour based on the date in the column. I don't seem to be able to just replace 'toDateString()' with 'toLocalDateString()', so there must be something I'm missing. I'd be very grateful for any advice
