Would be damn cool to have a date format action like the date format column, available in workflows similar to how template actions are used in webhook, email, and schedule workflows.

No thanks. It’s probably one of the buggiest features of Glide. I don’t want it messing up my workflows.

If I felt that I could trust it, yes. I had a [rant](https://community.glideapps.com/t/time-format/50074/8) about this a few years ago when I stopped using it.
