If you want to include the acquired day of the week in the field, select that field in the “Destination field (optional)” parameter.
Instead of putting the day of the week in the field immediately, if you want to use it in other actions, use the formula.
If you perform an action set to “Get the day of the week from date”, the day string is stored internally as the result of the action.
You can use a formula to retrieve the saved day of the week, for example, = $1.
The date field of kintone cannot be set as the day of the week will not contain any date information. It is possible to set fields such as “String (one line)”.
