I have uploaded the new version of this plugin along with the user guide (& old version plugin considering Appian older version compatibility) and hopefully it will be available to download & use shortly (after the approval).

RE: Date Formatter in JSON

Hi Alok - i've discovered a bug in this plug-in. When a JSON string has its date updated and the date happens to be the last field in the CDT / Dictionary, the returned JSON string accidentally omits the final "]" and "}" characters. It seems to only happen when the updated property is the last one in the cdt/dictionary, i.e. in my tests if I add an extra field after, the problem disappears.

For example here's a test dictionary with date fields for "created" and "modified". When i just update "created", the output is correct as I expect:

However when i update "modified", since it's the last field, it omits the last 2 closing characters:

This is causing us some pretty weird and severe issues in our project where we're using this plug-in, as certain things are randomly failing when the JSON text is re-loaded.
