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...

There are multiple uservoices open for this here including

https://microsoftforms.uservoice.com/forums/386451-welcome-to-microsoft-forms-suggestion-box/suggestions/18409984-allow-uk-date-format-in-forms-please
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!
Best, Chris

Best response was to ask Micrsoft to fix it but that was 3 years ago! Surely there has to be an update

DannyVLRS We also use dd/mm/yyyy date format and have no problems unless the form is embedded in a Forms web part on a SharePoint page when it asks the user to enter the date as m/dd/yy. So we don't put the form in a web part but have the full form open in a new tab.
