Formatting a date field in Drupal rules

Question

Is there a way to format a date in Drupal rules? I've got a date timestamp, but obviously that's less than ideal for a client-facing situation.

How do you change a field to a different sort of formatting while in the rules UI?

Is this date timestamp a component? – Steven Oct 3 '13 at 15:04 — Steven, Oct 3 '13 at 15:04
It's a date field from a node. – Jack Ryan Oct 3 '13 at 17:19 — Jack Ryan, Oct 3 '13 at 17:19

Can't you use [node:field_calendar_date:custom:l, Fd, gia]? Custom being whatever date format you set up. (like the presets: short, medium, long)

Make sense?

I tried to do this, and it just showed me the plan text of the above. I don't think I tried custom though. Let me check that. – Jack Ryan Oct 4 '13 at 13:04
[entity-fetched:field_date_time_3:custom:Medium] is what I get. – Jack Ryan Oct 4 '13 at 13:08
