REGEX help needed & MASK

    I understand that REGEX is a pain but I can’t understand why this isn’t working for date. It keeps setting the date to 1970.

    ^(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](19|20)\d\d$

    ^(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](19|20)\d\d$/#|

    Also, is it possible to have some sort of MASK over the input field saying “DD/MM/YYYY” to give the user a fighting chance?

    The date field’s help text is a useful way of telling the user what format to use.

    But if you enter it incorrectly it just saves as a date that was no where near what i entered.

    If you want to use that date format, you need to configure “strict dates” in the plugin settings under the advanced tab.
