Which is why I suggested the %due_date_sort_value% variant.
Quoting "McCanna, Terran" <tmcca...@georgialibraries.org>:
I tested %a (and every other standard and non-standard letter, lower
case and capitalized) and didn't find one that worked with %due_date%.

If %a works (and I haven't tested to see that it does) you would
probably want this:
%DATE_FORMAT(%due_date_sort_value%, %a)%
The pre-formatted %due_date% doesn't usually parse as a date.

Hi Jane,
I haven't tested this, but I think you can get the day of the week with %a:
%DATE_FORMAT(%due_date%, %a)%

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Receipt template date formats?
Hi Evergreen,
We were wondering if we could change the format of the due date in
receipt templates. The %due_date% macro gives us the YYYY-MM-DD
format, but we were interested in getting the day of the week in there
somehow. Is this a possibility?
Thanks,
-Jane
