Issue Summary

Hello,

At the moment, convert data can convert a date to a string, but the output can only be a Linux timestamp.
It would be useful to be able to provide a format, and even a timezone, to get a usable string (to put in a mail, display to a user...).
Patch will follow.

My code breaks other actions, such as "Add a variable", but I don't know why yet.
Any help is welcome!

Here is a better patch, that does not seem to break anything.
