Hi,
I need to display in my app the birthday but without the years.
I use the Date Format plugin but it is not in the localised format (french)
Is there a way to do it ?
Thanks

I used JavaScript for this.
```auto
function formatDateTimeTZ(datetimeString) {
// Step 1: Parse the datetime string into a Date object
const date = new Date(datetimeString);
// Step 2: Set the locale to French and format the date
const options = {
day: '2-digit',
month: 'long',
year: 'numeric', // Include year to ensure correct date interpretation
timeZone: 'UTC' // If needed, adjust the timezone
};
// Step 3: Format the date
const formattedDate = date.toLocaleDateString('fr-FR', options);
// Extract only "DD MMMM" from the formatted string
// The formatted string includes the year, so we need to remove it
const parts = formattedDate.split(' ');
const day = parts[0];
const month = parts[1];
return `${day} ${month}`;
}
return formatDateTimeTZ(p1)
```
With p1 being your โBirthdayโ column.

It is probably because of UTC time conversion. What is your timezone?
