To display today’s date in a legal-style format such as:
“This agreement is made and entered into this 11 day of May, 2026.”
the recommended approach is to use multiple formatted merge fields combined with static text, rather than relying on a single date field.
Use the following syntax in the merge template:
This agreement is made and entered into this «Today@d» day of «Today@MMMM», «Today@yyyy».
Where:
Today@d returns the day of the month (e.g., 11)
Today@MMMM returns the full month name (e.g., May)
Today@yyyy returns the four-digit year (e.g., 2026)
In the merge action setup, map the Today field to Apsona’s built-in Current Date and Time system field. Apsona will then dynamically generate the current date in the required format during the merge.
Using separate formatted date components provides greater flexibility and is the preferred approach for complex legal or contract-style date formatting in merge templates.
