Hi -

I have a form that uses a Date Picker field. Under Custom Settings I used 'date' in the custom key field and then 'mm-dd-yy' (also tried 'mm/dd/yy')in the value field, but even after submitting the form the time remains in ISO format 2021-05-15. No validations are set for this field.

I've spent hours reading through other threads and none of the suggestions seem to be working for me.

I would also request that maybe we create a list of all possible keys and values for common items like changing how the date and time are displayed and make it available.

In the meantime, can someone please help?

Thanks 🙂

Hi,

The setting to change the date format is dateFormat, can you please re-check it? Screenshot https://imgur.com/8ip8rgD

Get more JS options here https://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/

Hi again Long -

my problem is that I was adding the date/dateFormat key in the field Custom Settings. I have never seen the Date Picker Settings option. Made the change and works perfectly now!

Suggestion - since most of the custom field options are under the Advanced Setting tab inside of MB, perhaps you might consider placing all of the fields to customize format in the same place, and maybe also update the KB on this topic to clearly show WHERE to add the format keys in the builder vs code?

Hi Lupescoto,

It is possible that the Elementor also format the date value. Please try to use the helper shortcode in that post without using Elementor and re-check this issue.

Yes, please.

Furthermore, the documentation for js_options points to http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker. JQUI Datepicker does not include a time option, and so it does not include any formatting for the time. The datepicker in MB does include time, so the documentation is missing for formatting the time.
