Hi,

Previously when passing attributes names 'today', '1 week ago' etc ot the dateformatter it could work out the date. This is now failing.

Have I missed something?

Thanks

Hi @fme_it, the new DateTimeConverter has not inherited the functionality, but you can still use that through the TclCaller. See here to learn more: FME 2018 natural language dates no longer accepted

Hi @fme_it

 

 

to get today you could use either DateTimeStamper transformer or @DateTimNow() function. For 1 week ago DateTimeCalculator transformer or @DateTimeAdd(_today, -P7D) function will be helpful.
