How do I label date attributes in a different format?

DArnold19D

I have an attribute I would like to label on my map that has dates in mm/dd/yyyy format.   When I label the map, it displays in that format (as one would expect).   I want to draw the labels in a different format, specifically mmm yyyy or mmm yy format.   I can get a dynamic text box to update with the date on the map, but I want a map to populate with project dates over the features.   Thanks in advance!

What are you working with - Desktop 10.x, Pro, AGOL ?  With Desktop for example, the label manager allows for creating an expression.  Python  code would be something like (note: advanced checked):

<SPAN class="keyword token">from</SPAN> datetime <SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> datetime

<SPAN class="keyword token">def</SPAN> FindLabel <SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>EditDate<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN>
  ds <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> datetime<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>strptime<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>EditDate<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S %p'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
  <SPAN class="keyword token">return</SPAN> ds<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>strftime<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"%B %Y"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>
