Sign Documents: Default date format for the date element.

Hallo!

ist es möglich bei den SignIn Dokumenten das Datumformat TT.MM.JJJJ standardmäßig für alle Dokumente in unserem Account einzustellen?

Oder zumindest so, dass es von selbst auf die Benutzer-Sprach-/Region-Einstellung angepasst wird (also kein US-Format in Deutschland).

Das einzeln zu ändern verschwendet immer am meisten Zeit...

Danke und Gruß

Hi youroom,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our German Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in German, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

Now, let me help you with your question. Are you pertaining to the Date field element? If so, it is not possible to change the default date format without going to the date field properties as this field is formatted MM-DD-YYYY by default. However, you can change the date field format for all the submissions through submissions table. Checkout my screencast below to see how it's done:


Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hallo und vielen Dank für die zugige Rückmeldung.

Es geht um die Datumsfeld-Elemente in Sign Formularen, die innerhalb eines Dokuments manchmal mehrfach eingefügt werden müssen. Hier wäre eine entsprechende Default-Formateinstellung sehr wünschenswert, anstatt der vorgeschlagenen manuellen Änderung erst bei den empfangenen Dokumenten. Vielleicht nehmt Ihr das als einen Verbesserungsforschlag für künftige updates auf.

Viele Grüße

Alexandra

Hi Alexandra,

Thanks for getting back to us. I understand that it could be very tedious to change the date manually on your signed documents. While the feature you’re looking for isn’t currently available, rest assured we’re always working to add new services and features to Jotform. 

I've gone ahead and escalated your request to our Developer Team. When or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know. 

Thanks for your patience and understanding. We appreciate it.
