Make it possible to hide timezone in Automations and comments where date fields are used as variables
planned
Katie Subra
We have routine automations that we program into some of our lists and these are informational, including a date field, but the timezone of the ClickUp user is irrelevant. Our team members are all remote and the information we are communicating via these notifications is about someone other than a ClickUp user.

Adjust Date format of automation created lists
Kolton White
I have an automation to create a new meeting list every week and set the first half of the title to be the date the automation triggers (every Monday).
But the date formatting when this triggers is way too long for a list name, it includes the day of the week, the full written date/month/year, as well as the time and timezone.
Can you fix to allow to allow for a shorter formatting?

The date string automations output is way too verbose for list names, day of week, full written date, time, timezone all jammed together. Totally reasonable to want more control over that format.
Merging your post into an existing request tracking this same problem so your vote counts toward it. The good news is date formatting in automations is already on the roadmap 🙌

Option to remove timezone from automation naming

I have an automation that creates a task and adds the 'Date Updated' to the task title, but it writes the date out in full every time e.g. "Feb 26 2026, 16:00 (Europe/London)"
I really don't need to see the "Europe/London" part. Is there a way I can get the date in DD/MM/YY (or other) formats? At the very least shorten Europe/London to just 'UTC'

Good news — this is already planned. We're going to give you control over whether the timezone appears when date variables are used. Merging your post into the main tracking thread ⚡
