Custom object API date format is different

Has anyone experienced challenges with populating a date field in a custom object?

Our date format is DD/MM/YYYY and we can populate the date fields in the Lead database without any issues.

However, the below example shows that when we populate a custom object the month and the day gets swapped.

Is this a Marketo bug or we are missing something?

I assume this is not really an issue in places where the standard date format is MM/DD/YYYY.

It would be rather interesting to have two sets of standards for the same system to handle dates...

Any suggestion?

Looks like a question of where the localization is applied. Can't you use ISO 8601?

Hi Peter

Currently, Custom Object Tab does't support Datetime format.

Hi Takehiro,

This is good to know, however what I was after is the REST API date format.

Thanks,
Pete

Oh I'm sorry.

If you want to know Day-Month swapping, I have a question as same as Sanford.

I think you did not use Date and Time Formats at your REST API Create/Update/Upsert Custom Objects » Marketo Developers
