Dates, numbers, currencies, and percentages are displayed differently depending on the region. To make sure ChiliDocs® outputs them correctly, you need to add a format modifier to your placeholder.
All format options in ChiliDocs® start with:
[object.property(format:xyz)]

⚠️ Notes
- Be careful with uppercase vs lowercase when defining formats:
-
MM = month, mm = minutes
-
-
Currency automatically follows either the account default currency or the deal-specific currency (see article “How to display currency in the correct format”).
-
For rich text fields, you can strip out HTML tags using removehtml.
