Hi,
While creating the form with the help of “date” field, the date format is “YYYY-MM-DD” by default. so, can we change the format into “DD-MM-YYYY”.
Could you please help me to get the format “DD-MM-YYYY”?
Thanks in Advance!

Take a look at the format-date() XPath function.
For your specific usecase try this:
calculation = format-date(${my_date}, "%d-%m-%Y")

Hi @hayleydodd,
Welcome to the community! Would you mind sharing your xlsform so that we could have a look at it on why it’s still not working.
Have a great day!

Hi @hayleydodd,
Simply polishing your xlsform to what @Xiphware and @stephanealoo has already mentioned earlier so that it’s easy for you to track the errors (those highlighted in yellow) you have made outlined in the image below:
In the survey tab of your xlsform:
In the choices tab of your xlsform:
Data Entry Form as Seen in Enketo (aka web form):
Reference xlsform:

Have a great day!

Hi Team,
Greetings!
Thanks for Response, We are able to achieve the date format in “DDMMYYYY”.
But is their any possibility to write the calculation condition “format-date(${baby_DOB}, ‘%d/%m/%Y’)” for same date filed. As shown in the below image.
Expected Output:
We are unable to achieve that, could you please help on this. Thanks!
Hello,
No, (as far as I know), as this will create a format error for the standard date type.
Hint: In Collect the date format show in a form adapts to the language configuration, e.g. for French
Maybe someone of the core team can say if there is any similar option for Enketo device configuration (like system date format)? @Kal_Lam
