Hello, 

On our label we have a date field that is populated via the Data Entry Form at print, format of the date field is YYYY-MM-DD. We also have a GS1-10 that is linked to the same source but the format has to be in YYMMDD. I would like to have both dates to linked to the same source during print but is there any way to have both dates in different formats like stated above?

  You will need to male the data element an Object Value field and link it to the data in the text field that contains the date like this:

  

  I would suggest using the AI wizard to create your barcode date as a fixed date field initially and then edit it and adjust the Type to Object Value and link them together.
