# Update project date format in config (2025-10-30 17:26Z)

_**User (2025-10-30 17:26Z)**_

@NewProject.bat (1-59) we forgot to set the project date to YYMMDD_ for work config.@2025-10-27_16-57Z-reapply-work-configuration-to-repository.md

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>**Modifying project scripts**

I need to change NewProject.bat to set the project date in the format YYMMDD_ for the work config. Right now, it uses 'YYYY-MM-DD_ProjectName,' but they want the projectRoot formatted like '251030_ProjectName.' I think I need to create %yy%%mm%%dd%_ as part of that. The current yy variable gets the two-digit year, but I’ll make sure the date parsing works with different locales. I’ll ensure everything has an underscore after the date before the project name.
**Adjusting date logic in script**

I’m clarifying that if the yy variable is 2025, it gets set correctly. When using "tokens=2-4," I’ll end up with '10,' '30,' and '2025' for a typical US date format. So, yy will stay as '2025', and to get a two-digit year, I'll just use %yy:-2%. 

Next, I’ll adjust NewProject.bat using apply_patch to change the date logic. I’m thinking we can keep the existing lines, adding a line to compute the yymmdd variable and then setting projectRoot to %yymmdd%_%projectName%.
**Finalizing script updates**

I need to ensure I update the echo success message while keeping it unchanged — just two lines to worry about. It's important to preserve the indentation since the script uses no tabs and starts at the beginning of each line to maintain style.

I'll apply the patch accordingly and check for any lines that reference the projectRoot structure to ensure they remain unaffected. After this edit, I'll provide a brief summary and a status update before making any tool calls. Alright, let's proceed!</details></think>

I'll update `NewProject.bat` so new projects use a YYMMDD_ prefix for the folder name, keeping the rest intact. Applying the edit now.

The model made no changes to the file.

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>**Reading file for patching**

I need to read the file to get the exact contents for applying the patch accurately. The first step here is to use the read_file function. Once I have the content, I can apply the patch correctly. It feels important to ensure precision in this process so that everything fits perfectly. I'm curious if the patch will align well with the content once I get it! Let's focus on accuracy.</details></think>

---

Let me open the current `NewProject.bat` to make a precise edit, then I’ll update the date format and project root naming.

<think><details><summary>Thought Process</summary>**Applying code changes**

I'm focusing on applying a patch by inserting a new line after the "set yyyy" line to "set yymmdd." Then, I'll also change the "projectRoot" line. It's important to use the "apply_patch" method while keeping the exact context lines intact. I'll need to make those adjustments carefully to ensure everything works correctly without any errors. Let's proceed with this method and get it done smoothly!</details></think>

- I updated `NewProject.bat` to use work-style YYMMDD_ folder naming.

Changes:
- Added `set yymmdd=%yy:~-2%%mm%%dd%`.
- Switched `projectRoot` to `%yymmdd%_%projectName%`.

Key edits:
```12:16:A:\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\3 ProjectStructure\NewProject.bat
set yyyy=20%yy:~-2%
set yymmdd=%yy:~-2%%mm%%dd%

::: Ask for project name
set /p projectName="Enter project name (press Enter for default 'NewProject'): "
if "%projectName%"=="" set projectName=NewProject
set projectRoot=%yymmdd%_%projectName%
```

- This now creates project folders like `251030_ProjectName`.

@UpdateSequences.bat (4-5) this is HOME. I should have known better than to trust you.

The script now points to the absolute path for the work configuration.
