Convert Date
I create a GS1 Datamatrix Code with expiry date. I need the Date as text next to the Code. The Problem is the Code Dateformat is yy/mm/dd and in the text it have to be dd-mmm-yy. Is it possible to convert it?

Yes, you can do this either way round.
You effectively make one of the fields the main date and then link to as an a Object Value field.
I tend to make the text field the main date (making a note of the Object name,Text 1 in this instance) and then link the barcode to it and to do this I would using the inbuilt GS1 Application wizard to create the symbol leaving the date as a Clock string type initially and then after I have created the barcode I would edit the date substring and change the type to Object Value and then link to the date text field as per the image below.
(Note: I have set a 5 day offset on the date so that you can see this has come across in both fields automatically)
