Change Date format to DD-MM-YYYY with a date picker

Super Koi

I'd like the option to change the date format to DDMMYYYY, or have a date picker. It can get very confusing for clients to enter the date in YYYY-DD-MM format.

Customizable Date Format in Settings

I would like an option to select my preferred date format from the settings tab. For example, being able to choose the format mm/dd/yyyy would be highly beneficial. This customization will enhance user experience by allowing users to work with their preferred date format.

I really would love the date format that many travel vendors and GDS use. Example "15SEP24". Some vendors let you type the date any way you like and they update it automatically to the format their system uses.

Note: we are planning to allow for times based on your browser settings, not just change it to DD-MM-YYYY for everyone.

Molly Johnson will this change for all date fields like the birthday as that’s the biggest error I get from travelers

Molly Johnson

Sapphire Panther Yes! It will show the correct format for the traveler's browser settings.

Molly Johnson I would love for the "date picker" to be added to the Anniversary Form Element! Currently, when you add Anniversary date to a form, it requires clients to choose the month, day and year in separate drop-downs.

I would love for this to allow us to change the date format to what we use most. There is less chance of a birthdate error when it's set up how we are used to doing it.

Yes please!

If/when we do this we will definitely make it configurable so you can choose your preferred date format!

It's definitely something we want to do! Just a matter of timing. Super helpful to see all the interest in this.
