String Formatted Date Fields to Date Field #259

Open cosbyr opened 6 years ago

cosbyr commented 6 years ago

Expose option in field mapping UI area to allow user to specify the input date string format (ie yyyy/mm/dd, or mm-dd-yy, etc) and handle translation to a date field on the target dataset

Two approaches:

Neither is very straightforward from a UI perspective since both can support data conversion from a variety of datatypes.

@pLeBlanc93 Noted. I think we would have to create some Custom UI that would use either core python or or the Convert Time GP tool as the underlying conversion technology. I lean towards core python because the Convert Time GP tool creates extra fields in the process. Would be nice to not have to worry about cleaning those up.
