Date Format for file name template

Huub

For the File name format I now use:
{invoice_type} {client} {invoice_no} - My Company {invoice_date}

The invoice will be saved as:
Invoice Customer Company 20250001 - My Company 20250516.pdf

Is there any way I can adjust the date format?
Would be great if I can use: dd-mm-yyyy, so the format would be:
{invoice_type} {client} {invoice_no} - My Company {invoice_date;dd-mm-yyyy}

O other solution would be that at the settings menu there would be an option to set the date format. I would then use dd-mm-yyyy.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve implemented support for custom date formats in the file name template.

The existing {invoice_date} placeholder will keep using the current default format (yyyyMMdd). For a custom format, you can use:

{invoice_date:dd-MM-yyyy}

So your template could be:

{invoice_type} {client} {invoice_no} - My Company {invoice_date:dd-MM-yyyy}

Small note: use uppercase MM for the month. Lowercase mm usually means minutes in date/time formatting.

This should be available in the next update.
