Date Format not working

Hello @iresearchex,

The reason this doesn’t work is that you are using a mail tag as a form tag.

You need to use a form tag in your Form tab content, like this:

[date* donate-date]

And this mail tag in your Message body field within Mail tab:

[_format_donate-date "d M y"]

See Date field.

Best regards,
Yordan.

Hello @yordansoares,

I’m afraid you didn’t read the Doc post I left you above: Date field.

This behavior it’s controlled by the browser and locale by default, so it’s not under your control. You can read more in the MDN Web Doc > <input type=”date”>.

Best regards,
Yordan.

hi, @yordansoares

which means this is uncontrollable?

Hello @iresearchex,

You can control the output in the email, using the special mail tag [_format_your-date "D, d M y"], but you can’t control the input UI by default. It’s possible, strictly speaking, but it’s not at all easy to achieve, and it is definitely not possible with Contact Form 7 settings.

Hope it helps you.

Best regards,
Yordan.
