I have an embedded data field pulling timestamp from the invite file in this format (2023-06-23 23:12:00) and I want to pipe it into a question just the date: Did you use internet on MM/DD/YYYY? I think I need javascript to convert the format and/or remove the time but all the examples I’ve found are solving way more complicated versions of this question -- any suggestions here?

Pipe the timestamp into a span:
<span class="formatDate">${e://Field/timestamp}</span>Then use JS to modify:

date.text(date.text().substr(0,10));
});

and javascript like this:
