Date format for data entry

[Kal_Lam]

Hi @morpetme,

Welcome to the community! Would you mind going through the discussion that has happened in the past. It should help sort out your issue:

How can I change the default date format?

Nope. The format used to submit results to the server of type date is prescribed and fixed by the XForms specification. However you can convert to/from pretty much any custom format you desire using the format-date() function. For example, to get something like “09/10/19” you can use: format-date(${mydate}, '%d/%m/%y') If you use this in a calculation, your calculation result will contain your date in your desired format when submitted to your server.

GOOD DAY!
