Jan,

I see you had an example
1789-07-14

Quick example
\define indate() 1789-07-14
{{{ [<indate>split[-]join[]] }}}


gives 17890714 <https://tiddlywiki.com/#17890714>

But try 
\define indate() 1789-07-14

{{{ [<indate>split[]!match[-]] }}}

{{{ [<indate>split[]!match[-]join[]] }}}


So a lot can now be done with raw wiki-text although you will often find 
you need a button to trigger saving a field etc...

Regards
Tony
