Hi,

My goal is to have DateTime values filled in as session variables.

First attempt, use plain default:

Second attempt, use of [sep] feature:

Third attempt, use of [sep] feature, but correct this time:

OK, I'm almost there.. What do I need to do to have the end time as well?

Thanks in advance

The initvar first separates on '|' to get its individual parts, that leaves you with

  • [sep::;]start;03/17/2022 08:00:00
  • end;03/22/2022 08:00:00

As you can see, the end part doesn't have the [sep:...] placeholder needed to do the right separation. So the solution is to add it there as well. Resulting in:

[sep::;]start;03/17/2022 08:00:00|[sep::;]end;03/22/2022 08:00:00
