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...

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!

When setting up laptops and pcs for new staff, we use Australian English as default language.
I will test the forms in tablets.- PaulaSillarsMay 26, 2021Iron Contributor
APC-andre We do too but Forms has been the only app we have ever found that also requires it in the browser settings. We set it in Windows and had also set it for every location in O365 but the browser wasn't one we had ever required before and looks like this has caught a lot of people out.
- PaulaSillarsMay 25, 2021Iron ContributorIt turned out the answer was the actually in the browser. We use Chrome as our default and had to set Australia as our location within Chrome itself. Then forms allowed non-US dates.
