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!

PaulaSillars this must be something to do with the regional settings made by Office 365 global admins because all our dates in Microsoft Forms are in dd/mm/yyyy format by default.

If you use the Forms with a direct link, it will follow the format of the default language on the browsers.
In Australia, when you install Chrome or the new Edge, the browsers will have US English as default.
So we changed all pcs Browsers to Australian English.... but..... If you try to use the form in a modern sharepoint site webpart, it will only show with the american format, no matter what settings you have in admin, site settings, etc.
