Hi @Adnan3194 

If you add a calculation stage to your process and include the following FormatDate("07/15/2017","MMM") this should output the value as "Jul". If you want the full month name then you just increase the number of Ms in the format e.g. FormatDate("12/15/2017","MMMMMMMM") will show "December"

Try this :

FormatDate(ToDate("21 December 2024"),"MMMMMMMM")

hi.. please guide how i get flags of these classes (Economy, First and Business Class) data will be pick from Item Data Collection [ITEM DATA.SERVICE CLASS]

how i will use expression that one will be mark one True and other mark false

[Mohamad_747]

You should have just one input text data item something like [Service Class]

And then you can use the logic in multi choice criteria

 Lower([Service Class])="economy class"

 Lower([Service Class])= "business class"

 Lower([Service Class])="first class"

You see what i mean ?
