We will be correcting this in the next Gravity Forms v1.6 Release Candidate release later this week. We will be updating it so that the custom field value stored will honor the date format settings you configure on the field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/date-format-changes-when-saved-to-custom-field#post-36312 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 08:10:18 +0000 Mario1966 36312@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi !<br /> I'm experiencing the same issue.

Just can't work out why it's doing it though!</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/date-format-changes-when-saved-to-custom-field#post-35713 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:31:22 +0000 Chris Hajer 35713@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What plugin are you using for the custom fields, and can you post a link to your site?</p> <p>It sounds like the custom fields plugin, or your template (wherever you are using the date value) is translating the date between different formats. If the date is stored correctly in the entry, it's being translated somewhere along the way. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/date-format-changes-when-saved-to-custom-field#post-35641 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 10:42:37 +0000 hexagongirl 35641@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm using version 1.5.2.8</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/date-format-changes-when-saved-to-custom-field#post-35638 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 10:19:02 +0000 Chris Hajer 35638@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The date format options have changed in the latest version.

I've set date format to be dd/mm/yyyy.</p> <p>When submitted, this appears fine in the form entry, but when in the custom field (in the 'course' post), it changes format to yyyy-mm-dd. This happens even if the corresponding custom field is just a plain text box.</p> <p>Any clues as to what's happening here would be greatly appreciated!</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Sarah </p>
