Hi Royston, 

I would say it is for sure possible. I don't know the exact answer since I came to this through a bit of trial and error. You could look at the following below and see if swapping it out at the right place gives you the format you are looking for 

  1. toString() gives you Fri Jul 02 2021 14:03:54 GMT+0100 (British Summer Time)
  2. toDateString() gives you Fri Jul 02 2021
  3. toLocaleString() gives you 7/2/2021, 2:05:07 PM
  4. toLocaleDateString() gives you 7/2/2021
  5. toGMTString() gives you Fri, 02 Jul 2021 13:06:02 GMT
  6. toUTCString() gives you Fri, 02 Jul 2021 13:06:28 GMT
  7. toISOString() gives you 2021-07-02T13:06:53.422Z
