I am citing a number of electronic resources in an MLA 8 style document. It seems the current recommendation is to include an access date for the resource in the works cited. I've kept track of access dates as I was going along in standard American format, e.g. 02/08/2018. I now see that the MLA guidelines are for day / month / year, with the month abbreviated, e.g. 8 Feb. 2018.
I know this is something of a tall order, but is there any way of telling Bookends to pass the date to the works cited in this way?
Handling of dates (MLA 8 style)
Re: Handling of dates (MLA 8 style)
I'm afraid not. Bookends dates are alphanumeric text, not objects, and therefore can't be manipulated by Bookends (other than find and replace).

I figured as much, but thought it was worth asking just in case. Thanks.
