Hi,

I'd like to know if there is a way to format `ITUNESPURCHASEDATE` from `%_file_create_datetime%`, then convert the format to the iTunes/Music.app format of YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ. I have the first part set using Format Tag Field.  
Field: `ITUNESPURCHASEDATE`  
Format: `%_file_create_datetime%`.

My system date format is DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM

I have updated my query to cover your withdrawn reply, if that helps.
