Problem
There are many Date / Time formats that can be selected when placing various Text Fields but we require a format that is not listed.
eg. September 2022
Solution
The DateTimeFormats.xml file under the following default location defines all the standard Date / Time formats.
C:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\MicroStation\Default\Data\DateTimeFormats.xml
This can be edited using Notepad++ to include a new line and add a new format for the Date/Time.
<Format FormatString="MMMM yyyy" Description="Full month name, 4 digit year." />
It would be suggested that you should make a copy of this DateTimeFormats.xml file to a new location and point to this file using the following configuration variable.
MS_DATETIMEFORMATS = [Filename | Standard Date Time formats | NO | YES]
