control the display of dates in Current selection box

Hello

I got a datetime field

I put this field in a list box (by default this field shows as numbers but I can change the display by changing the format in the Number tab)

however if the user selects a date in the current selection box the value still appears as number

is there a way to force qlikview to show the value as date (readable)

please advise

if you change it in Number tab you only change display format (but it still will be numbers)

Why don't you change it on reloaod script?

I already created the schema and most expressions use the comparisons based on the fact that the date is in number format
