Using Sitecore 9.1.1 with SXA 1.8.1.

I have a rendering variant which outputs a date field in a particular date format. When my first field being evaluated is empty then the fallback value displays in the selected format. However if my first field has a value then it displays it in the format "8/29/2019 12:00:00 AM". The same date format selection was made in both fields.

My rendering variant: enter image description here

My template - both are date fields, the only difference being the Published date gets a default of now. enter image description here

Reviewed output:

vs my Published fallback:

  • @DawidRutkowski I did jump into the web database and everything seemed to be there. I was kind of hoping the date format string hadn't been published for an easy explanation :)

  • Raising a support ticket as I have reproduced in a vanilla sxa install. Damn was looking forward to using these cool looking fallback fields. :)

This was raised as a bug - Sitecore reference 362491.

The workaround was to have rule based display of the variant fields: enter image description here
