Can't display the weekday in a date field (v2.46) #62

I've been reading the documentation for how to format a date field to show a weekday, which is all over the documentation and screenshots, but no matter what I do the weekday won't display in the field value.

My value for Special: Column TypeAttributes (the below correctly displays everything except for the weekday): Event_Date__c:{year:'numeric', day:'2-digit', month:'long', weekday:'long'}

Eric, saying I love this component is a gross understatement - I use it in just about every Salesforce demo and I have it all over the place in production at a food pantry I volunteer with... this fills a very deep need we have in the platform, kudos for building it, I'm sure it's a labor of love!

Leave out the quotes and see if this work for you: Event_Date__c:{year:numeric, day:2-digit, month:long, weekday:long}

@ericrsmith35 I just tried it as provided and there's no change.

In order to display the correct date based on the user's timezone, I handle all dates as date-local. The base datatable component in Salesforce only supports formatting for Month, Day and Year for date-local values. You could try a datetime field to see if that lets you provide the formatting you're looking for.
