Change date format in Date Field on a Custom Form

Hello all!

 

I'm creating a custom form in Workfront for a user.  On the form, there are various calculated fields that output a date in the format mm/dd/yy.

 

When I add a regular Date field object, the format is not the same.  For example, it will read July 20, 2023, instead of 7/20/23. 

 

Is there a way to change the date format on a regular Date field object?  

 

Thank you!

Hi,

 

There is no way to change the date format in the field itself, you can however change the way that the date is displayed in a report. You would add the field to your view, click advanced settings and then change the format to the one you want.

 

Best Regards,

Rich.

    Thanks, Rich!  I ended up re-creating the other calculated fields and selecting the "Date" format on those fields.  The goal was to have all of the date formats consistent when the custom form is used.  Goal accomplished.   😀  Thanks for the tip on changing how the dates display on a report.  I'll keep that in mind.
