here is my own solution of this problem:
in a pull tool called utilTool:
public String formatDate(Date date, String format)
{
String d = "";
if (date != null)
{
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
d = formatter.format(date);
}
return d;
}
in the template:
$!utilTool.formatDate($group.get("$name").value,$group.get("$name").validato
r.DateFormats.get(0))
where $group is the prepopulated intake group and $name is the DateString
field name.
this code will make it possible to update a date according to first rule in
the intake.xml
