Date curlybars formatting

I am trying to output the article.created_at on our homepage template. According to the docs https://developer.zendesk.com/apps/docs/help-center-templates/helpers#date-helper `date` is a global helper that should be accessible from the homepage template.

Any of the examples shown in the docs cause a syntax error "Unable to preview 'Home page' due to invalid reference: {{article.created_at}} at line 80"

I can get {{created_at}} to render, however I don't seem to have access to the format property.

Here is what that section of the page looks like:

          {{#each sections}}
            <ul class="news-and-updates-list d-f fw-w">
              {{#each articles}}
                <li>
                  <a href="{{url}}">{{title}}</a>
                  <span class="meta color--quiet">{{created_at }}</span>
                </li>
              {{/each}}
           </ul>
         {{/each}}

Hi Shane -

Sorry for the confusion here! I have been doing some testing in the homepage template and using the following format - <span>{{date created_at class='metadata' format='short'}}</span>I was able to get the dates to display as expected:

Let me know how things look on your end!
