Spark Date Type Issue

Hello KNIME Support Team,

I have a question regarding Spark Date types.

When I retrieve data using

now()

, the result appears in an unusual format rather than in

yyyymmdd

or similar.

Even if I try to specify the type within the internal query, is it impossible to keep it as a date type and display it in the format I want? For example,

20251020

or

2025-10-20

.
