Can't change date format of incoming form submissions

Design help General

In my webflow form i have a HTML embed block where i have a simple input type=“date”. It has the correct format when filling in the form, dd/mm/yyyy. However, when i get the submissions in my mail, it shows the date like yyyy/mm/dd. How can i fix it so both are dd/mm/yyyy?

Here is my site Read-Only: [Webflow - SJR Supercars]

In HTML, the type=date input will always output in an ISO8601 format of YYYY-MM-DD.
That negates any possible confusion for the downstream processors.

You could probably get around that with some javascript and a hidden type=text input field, which you update with the format you want, and Webflow would then display that content in the form email notification.

However, you might end up with two dates showing in the form, you’d need to do some testing.

A cleaner approach might be to use a 3rd party date picker that has the ability to specify the output format. I’d try Flatpickr.js, which has both a dateFormat ( for submission ) and an altFormat ( for display ).
