We have a Workflow which will calculate a date in a given number of months in the future from the start of a contract. The output we get is in a long format

            "Mon Feb 01 2016 00:00:00 GMT+1000 (E. Australia Standard Time)"

Our custom field is asking for DD/MM/YYYY

How do we convert that date format? I apologise I'm still a newbie after 5 years. My formulae looks like this

             nlapiAddMonths(nlapiStringToDate({custbody_contract_start}),{custbody_contract_period})


I thought maybe as below but it was unsuccessful.

             nlapiStringToDate(nlapiAddMonths(nlapiStringToDate({custbody_contract_start}),{custbody_contract_period}))
