You can use substring formulas to extract the parts of the date & concat to put them together in the format you want - here's a sample form with a few views - the Date Part view will show you the substring formulas. Not everything that is supported in the Filler (preview) will work in Browser, as you've found w/ your publishing error.

Writing Date field to text field

ctoper11 — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 16:19:12 GMT

Hello, I'm trying to write a date field into a text field. I'm using the following expression msxsl:format-date(Archive Date, "mm-dd-yyyy") as the default value in my text field and a rule to run on the date field that writes to the text one. It works when I preview it in Infopath but when I try to publish it I get an error that it's an unsupported expression. Is there another one I can use? I simply want the above date format. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you
