Hi,
text(38353, "mmm/dd/yyyy") returns Jan/04/2140.
Reason, 38353 is converted to date. Basically todate(0) returns Jan/01/2035.
todate(38353) = todate(0)+38353days, so we have Jan/04/2140.
This is how todate function works for number inputs.
Kindly refer the following link.

Hope this helps you to understand.

Thanks Vimal and Sonal, got it...

@varunb I am not sure that your question is answered with respect to usage of toHtml() or text(). Yes, the formatting or colour formatting is definitely applied and we can also see it as well, but this could be seen only in Forms designed using Forms Designer. For instance, you can also go through the 'Color Formatting' section at https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/7.11/Text_Functions.html#text.28.29 - it says that 'The formatting you apply can include one of the colors listed in the following table, when using Rich Text components such as Message and Paragraph form components.' These components are nothing but the components that will be used in Forms Designer. If you want to use these features, please go ahead with the forms designed using Forms Designer but please do bear in mind that usage of Forms Designer is not appreciated.
