Date & Time Columns for Tables

Back to the Changelog

FlowFuse Dashboard's ui-table node now formats timestamps. Set a column's Type to Date & Time and 1754999400000 renders as Aug 12, 2026, 12:10 PM instead of the raw number.

Previously, sending a timestamp to a Dashboard table showed either a long epoch number or a UTC string, so you had to reformat it yourself in a function node or template. The table handles it now. Each cell formats in the viewer's own browser locale and timezone, so a UTC timestamp shows in their local time.

The column accepts whatever you already have: an epoch in seconds or milliseconds, an ISO-8601 string, or a Date.

Dashboard v1.30.3 or later is required. To get started:

  1. On your ui-table node, turn off Auto Columns and add a column.
  2. Set its Type to Date & Time, Date, or Time.
  3. Point its Value at the field holding your timestamp.

A FlowFuse Dashboard ui-table rendering a timestamp as Date & Time, Date, and Time columnsThe same epoch value in three columns, with no function node upstream — the table reads the raw timestamp directly.

This feature is available to all FlowFuse Cloud users and Self Hosted users from Dashboard v1.30.3.
