I'm trying to add to my dashboard a list widget to show a list of recently updated records. I'm able to easily add fields by putting the field name between braces (ex {LastEditDate}), like in arcGIS Javascript API's PopupTemplate.

enter image description here

What I want to do now is to customize the date format. In this case only the time is relevant, but in other cases I might want only the date.

I tried to use a syntax similar to javascript API ({LastEditDate:DateFormat(selector: 'date', fullYear: true)}), without success.

Is there a way to customize a field's date format in the list widget?

    I just tried to edit the back-end JSON of the dashboard as a test of one of mine, using the syntax in your answer. It didn't work, but maybe you could bang at it a little more than I did. Make a copy or use a test app, you have the potential to destroy your content. ago-assistant.esri.com – KHibma Jul 18 '18 at 15:13
