Change Default Date Format is Send Email Action

[Phineas]

I've created a 'Send Email' flow. The email includes two dates from the SP List data source.

I'd like the dates to show as 'MM-dd-yyyy' rather than the default output (see below).

How is this task best achieved?

Just use the FormatDateTime() function around each of the dynamic content dates in the email body and supply the 'MM-dd-yyyy' format in the functions.

Can you clarify how I should write this language?

When I use 'Expression' the two date columns DO NOT appear, and when I try to manually enter the formatDatetime('DateIssued') I get an error saying the format doesn't match ISO standards.

I Got it; The following works.

Thanks!

formatDateTime(item()?['ColumnName'], 'MM-dd-yyyy')
