Is there a way to get the date/time in a specific format in Apps using the fx now() or fx today() functions?

Is there a way to get the date/time in a specific format in Apps using the fx now() or fx today() functions?

In situations where expressions don’t meet my formatting or manipulation requirements, I try to call a process to handle the formatting for the current date time and then return it as a string. It’s not ideal for performance to call processes all the time for simple actions… but it does solve the problem until expressions can be updated.

Example: On form load, call a process that returns the current datetime as a string out argument formatted mm/dd/yyyy
