The Legacy Builder is our oldest Builder

GoCanvas recommends all accounts upgrade existing forms and build all new forms in the Advanced or Basic Form Builder. Please note, some features are not available in the Basic Form Builder.

Date fields have three different formats, or styles, from which to choose so admins and designers can decide the format that fits your organization's data collection needs.

Date Fields

Note

This settings only affects date fields on a field-by-field basis within a form. The Help Center article "How to Set the Account Date Format" addresses updating the date format for more places across the account.

Date Format Options

MM/DD/YYYY

 For example: 03/27/2024

DD/MM/YYYY

For example: 27/03/2024

For example: 2024/03/27
