Concatenated text field in automation

[Ian_james_Dunca]

I am wondering if anybody knows a way to change the way the field for date created is displayed in concatenate? This formula reveals the date as follows:

2021-10-29T20:28:27.000Z - Task Detail - Task Assigned to - Projects

I am looking for something a little cleaner like:

2021-10-29 - Task Detail - Task Assigned to - Projects

IF(Projects = BLANK(),“No Project”,CONCATENATE("",{Date created}," - “,{Task Detail},” - “,{Task Assigned to},” - ", Projects))

cheers!
