“Invalid date” when duplicating a form

    Hello,

    Whenever we duplicate a form, the creation date is set to “Invalid date”, which is quite confusing.

    The sites’ language is “German”.

    hi Adrian,

    I’m curious to know if your problem got resolved?

    @onlinedevelopments Not yet.

    We’ve this problem since we switch from Caldera Forms to Ninja Forms (about ~ 6 months ago).

    The Invalid date won’t have any effect on the functionality of the form. This issue only affects the display on the back-end and and does not affect functionality.
    This issue is being caused by a bug with how the date data is being stored and read from the database. Our developers have an issue for this in our system.

    Hi Justin,
    It seems you haven’t fixed this issue, it’s still appearing on the back office and out client keeps finding it confusing and thinks there’s a real error, although we have explained your answer that it’s not a “real” issue…

    Well that’s the way some clients are, but a solution would be greatly appreciated from a 1st class plugin!

    Many thanks in advance.

    This happened to all on one of my sites. I solved it by changing the date format in the forms’ date field settings from “default” to “DD/MM/YYYY”. I suspect it was mixing up US and UK date formats. The US really needs to knock that “MM/DD/YYYY” format on the head for the good of humankind.

    We just had a similar issue with date fields in forms:
    Every date input from the seventh of any month was not accepted.

    After setting the format from “Standard” to “TT/MM/JJJJ” it worked again as expected…

    Very strange.
