    How can I change the date field into a UK format i.e. Day/Month/Year?


    Thank you

    I assume you are talking about this form: https://www.jotform.com/72812593429362

    On the other hand, the date format in this new layout that you are using is in DD/MM/YYYY format.

    I also checked this at your account and everything is as you expect. Could you please check and let us know if you still have troubled with date field?

    Ah is it?
    I’m confused as I’m not sure if that format is on both the forms we use.
    I have had some completed forms sent over and I don’t know if they are UK or USA format?

    There is no option to change the Date Format:

    I have forwarded this to our back-end team, you will be notified via this thread when it gets implemented, so you can change the format as you want to:

    Please accept my apology for the confusion.

    What my colleague meant is that once the issue is resolved by our backend team, you will see the option to change the date format. The screenshot which my colleague shared is of legacy form layout.

    Ah I see.
    So I should be able to see that format soon? Or will it take a while to resolve this issue?
    Thank you

    Unfortunately, there isn't an estimated time-frame for a resolution. You will be notified via this thread when this gets implemented.

    We are sorry for this inconvenience.

    In fact, changing date format is not available for the users who use JotForm New Form Layout. The only date format that you can use in this layout is DD/MM/YYYY. 

    On the other hand, the ticket is still escalated to our developers as Feature Request. However, we unfortunately cannot give you any estimates regarding when or if this might get implemented, but as soon as such a feature becomes available, we will make sure to let you know through this support thread. 

    Thank you in advance for your understanding.

    I’m not sure this is correct!
    I had a client yesterday email me as they received the copy of the form they submitted and the date was MM/DD/YYYY which is confusing.

    Hello,


    We just updated our date picker for the card forms, you can specify the date format and the separator character from the form builder now.


    If you need any help on this, feel free to reply.
