Discussion

Good proposal. There is also a workaround: Use SpreadSheetPlugin CALC to convert to epoch, then back to a format of choice. Remember to escape the CALC inside a SEARCH so that it fires off once per search hit, not once per search. Untested example: format="$percntCALC{$FORMATTIME($TIME($createdate), $year-$mo-$day)}$percnt".
