Dates showing in US format

Hi all,

For some reason, dates are displaying in Softer in MM/DD/YYYY, but in AT they are set up in DD/MM/YYYY.

How do I fix this? Thanks :slight_smile:

Hey @JonUK,

Please try to create a formula as a temporary workaround.

This should work.

Thanks,

You need to use an airtable formula in order to do it, then display the date with a text field inside Softr. Here is the formula to display it, the american way, see screenshot 2

Thanks both!

Sadly I have around 12 different date fields in AT for various things in the portal I’ve created.

@Suzie I note you say “as a temporary workaround”, are you implying that it will be sorted in the future/is it on the roadmap? If so, I can deal with it for now!

Thanks again

Okay, I’ve just gone ahead and done as suggested! It’s quite useful because I have it displaying some useful text when the date is empty instead (as part of the formula). Thanks again both!

You’re welcome!
And yes, with formulas you can play with the data in order to customize it, deeply enough!
