Change Date Picker Formatting to MM-DD-YYYY

Nick Pindale

Currently the format on a form for dates is YYYY-MM-DD, I would prefer it to be MM-DD-YYYY or to have the ability to change it

Sales & Marketing It's cool is there a way to change it to sun to sat instead on monday to sun - it really messes people up.

Sales & Marketing We really need the updated format to appear when custom fields are added to emails so that when we send an email with that date it reflects the correct format. Currently it still always defaults to YYYY-MM-DD

YYYY-MM-DD

is definitely how they should display in a data

export

but in the UI it should be user-customizable

I am facing the same issue, and it's becoming increasingly clear that our clients are not satisfied with the current situation. They prefer the dates to be in the DD/MM/YYYY format, which is more familiar and understandable in their context. This mismatch in date formatting is leading to misunderstandings and a lack of clarity. Addressing this issue to meet the clients' expectations for date format is crucial for smoother communication and better client satisfaction.

I hate that this is a thing. 😆
YYYY-MM-DD is the international standard format. The American format doesn’t make sense. (I am American.) 
If anything, we should have the ability to extract year, month, and day as independent data objects so I can send content like, “It’s November, your birthday month!”

Customise DOB to different country formats

Declan Boyle

Currently the DOB option for a contact is only available in Month/Day/Year format. However many countries list their dates as Day/Month/Year.It would be great if this feature was a default selection when you set a sub account's address, the same as a sub account automatically picks your time zone. The DOB is very confusing for clients if it's in the wrong format.

Date of Birth Format from YYYY/MM/DD to other options

Scott Adams

The Date of birth format in the US is MM/DD/YYYY in other countries it is DD/MM/YYYY... why is the only option YYYY/MM/DD?

Sales & Marketing: will we be able to manually enter?

Jithin Sujala - Damar Tech

Yes, this would be great if we could add the formatting either manually like {{contact.class_start_date %d-%m-%Y}} or from a pre-formatted list

Damian Surr

Please allow us to configure this even further.
I don't really mind how dates look in the back end, but in forms, I want selected dates to show as:
dddd, Do MMMM YYYY
(eg Thursday, 5th October 2023)

Shawn Moser

Provide option for day and month only. Many people don't want to share their age so allow option to leave off year.
