Google Script: Changing date format from Typeform Response in Sheets

$

I'm using Google Script to add a function where once the response from Typeform is sent to the sheet, a button called "create document" is added to fill up the Google Doc template using the body.replacetext script function.

Apparently I want the document to have a specific name auto generated which was possible with the function:

const copy = googleDocTemplate.makeCopy(`HR-4R-${row[2]}-${row[1]}-${(row[15]).toLocaleDateString()} `, destinationFolder)
  • where row 2 in sheet is: code
  • where row 1 in sheet is: position
  • where row 15 in sheet is date submitted (generated by typeform based on the date form was completed)

The ideal name for each document will be: HR-4R-AZM-VIDEO EDITOR-01-15-2021. My problem is using the .toLocaleDateString it formats the date into MM/DD/YYYY and I can't format it into MM-DD-YYYY. Another issue I'm having is Typeform exports response in UTC which conflicts the date of submission.

Is there a way to format the date into MM-DD-YYYY and change the time zone based on the location I am in?
