Constellation Table Date Format

I am having trouble configure the date format in tables in Constellation UI. I never had this problem in Traditional UI, but Constellation UI has so many limitations.

For case level date fields, I only have the options to use either short or long date.

For declarative index join data date fields, I do not even have any date-specific format options.

So, below are the date formats I could get.

All I want to achieve is all the date fields in these tables to have the date format like 02/07/2026. Is that possible with Pega Platform version 24.1.1 with Constellation UI? Can someone please help? Thank you.

@AnB18593 No , in Pega Platform 24.1.1 with Constellation UI, you cannot force all table date fields to display in a custom format like 02/07/2026. Constellation currently limits date formatting options, and this is a known constraint ​​​​​​.

If this is the requirement and you want to achieve it there are workarounds but none of them are perfect.

  1. You can create a text property that formats the date using a Data Transform or expression, then display that in the table. but it has limitations sorting will be alphabetical not chronological and you lose native date filtering.

  2. If you want to you can build custom date renderer but that requires front end development and cannot be achieved in APP studio. You need custom DX component.

Also you can wait for future Pega releases. Pega is constantly updating the formats. You can also draft a pega support ticket.
