More date/time formatting options in the Format Date to String workflow action

It would be extremely helpful to have more date and time formatting options in the "Format date to string" workflow action. Examples that would be helpful:

January 1, 2022
January 1, 2022 7:30 PM
1/1/2022 9:30 am
7:30 PM
9:30 am
Saturday

    I'd like to see a M/D/YYYY option available in this function. There is a MM/DD/YYYY option, but sometimes I find that format a bit clunky when the month and/or day is a single digit. In an email, for instance, I think it looks better, that is, less mechanical if you will, to say 6/4/2025 than 06/04/2025.

    I'm just working on a scenario where I need to extract day of the week as a word.

    For example condiftion is this request on a Saturday? It would be helpful to have this action support custom datetime formats like what is available in the convert a value action.

    Agree with this. Also Custom option will be helpful.

    Agree with the previous comment. 12 hour format needs to be included here.

    Americans don't speak of time in 24 hour language. The fact that AM/PM is not an option in formatting a date to a sting is ridiculous. Nintex is an American company. I just so surprised.
