Copy literal display value of Calculated property to Single-line text

I have a “time between” calculated property. In my case, it gives a calculation of years, but it can be days, months, etc. I then want to be able to copy that value into a Single line text property.

- When I use the “copy property” workflow action it comes up in milliseconds instead of the literal value displayed in the calculation property. So instead of “3 years” I get “83376000000”.

- When I use the “set property” workflow action the value defaults to days. So instead of “3 years” I get “965 days”.

I think it would be best if the actual display value copies over rather than the millisecond or day values.

Agree with this. I have the exact same issue and it’s really frustrating.

Copy the actual display result from a calculated property and paste it into a single-line text field. For easy copying, consider using the “copypastatexts” website. It simplifies transferring text seamlessly.

For a number that represents a “duration” value, having that interpreted display option more freely available would be helpful. I’m generally happy to work with the millseconds values, but sometimes this end up displaying silly amounts of decimal places.
