Date Formatting
Does anyone know a way to switch the date format to dd/MM/yyyy in Forms? We have numerous business uses for Forms, and have signed up for the Forms Pro preview, but not being able to change the date...
- Hi!
There are multiple uservoices open for this here including

Would recommend you vote for them - fast becoming one of the top requests and annoyances about Forms. I think Microsoft will pick this up in time.
Hope that answers your question!

That doesn't change the date formatting. It only changes the wording of some app-generated text in the forms. It's more akin to the proofing language settings in Word/Office that are independent of the locale settings that determine date etc.
Mike Williams oh okay, it seems to work from me on the front end when submitting the form?
Paul_Limbers The date format you see is a function of your local browser/environment. It cannot be set by the form creator.
