Is there a way to change the Date/time stamp format from inside a Label?

[revitworkbench]

Hello, Is there a way to change the Date/time stamp format inside revit? It gives : 1/25/2017 12:44:38 PM but I want January 25, 2017... can I do that? How?

If there is, I can't find it either.

Hello @revitworkbench,

I was thinking of a Dynamo script.

But not yet in the right format. 

I hope I will get it. (asking help on the Dynamo forum)

Hello @revitworkbench and @RobDraw,

Good news:

See this twitter message:

adding a core node that reports DateTime in a specified format

When they added that to the core, you are able to do the job.

Hello @revitworkbench and @RobDraw,

I have the solution 

See the Dynamo script below and in the attachment.

just place it in the Daynamo player when you have Revit 2017.1

Below you see the Python Script:

********************************************************************************

import sys
sys.path.append(r"C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib")

from datetime import datetime
now = datetime.now()
str_format = IN[0]

OUT = now.strftime(str_format)
# >>>  25-01-2017

********************************************************************************

See this link for the date and time format string parameters.

Just play with it.

Please let me know if this is your solution.

The simple answer then is no you can not.  You have to use Dynamo to change a date format. Geessh. And seven years later, still the same.
