Modify date format in Date field of Form Builder

Asked by H 11 months ago Last activity 11 months ago

I am using the Date field in Form Builder.

It is by default using the mm-dd-yyyy format. But I want to use the European format: dd-mm-yyyy.

How can I change this?

Hi,

I will ask our developer for technical details, and let you know.

user can only select their desired date from the date picker. The format will be automatically converted to mm-dd-yyyy as of our internal system

But notice that, if somebody use the European browser (like Me), I see dd-mm-yyyy in that date field during filling up the form.

Hello Paul,

You are right. I always set my browser to "English" and apparantly it then also adopts teh English or American dat format.

But the dat format in the email that FromBuilder sends, is still in the American date format. Even when the date format is European in the form. Can I change that?

Because it is confusing when I receive an RFQ emai from my contact form that says teh the event is on 1926-12-5. Is that December 5ht? Or May 12th? I want it to say clearly 5-May-2026.

Yes, I noticed the same in the message. I asked our developer to consider extra settings.

By now, just put extra info in message template that date format is "mm-dd-yyy" and will be eaiser.
