Ability to change date format to correspond to the user's region
Hi. In the question type where a date is required currently the only option (as far as I can see) is the US format. Can you kindly give us the ability to choose the region settings for this please? Thanks.

Not just region, but format. Say I'm asking for birthdays, but don't want to ask for the year as that would be inappropriate. Would like to have MM-dd or dd-mm or something, but not mm-dd-yyyy. Should be an easy fix, yeah? It's already a Microsoft standard. Why not add an options menu?

2 1/2 YEARS and STILL not even acknowledged as something the team can be bothered to put on the list to fix!
Is this an indication that the product is going to be killed off?

It's disappointing that this hasn't become supported yet. This can cause regular mistakes on fairly important forms within the firm where I work.

I am not an American. Apparently not many people are.
Is it really that difficult to be able to set the date format from the local system / SharePoint setting? You guys make operating systems don't you?

This is a vital missing feature.
A key benefit of MS Forms is it being easy to use for users - showing a date in US format to anyone in the rest of the world makes it difficult/confuding/error prone!!!!

Date format is not working for all but a few countries. DD/MM/YYYY should be a basic offering as this is the format which has been used for centuries. A day is shorter than a month and a month shorter than a year - they should always be listed in size order. No sense in middle, smallest, biggest as the maths which can be applied does not work..

Please can this be amended ASAP! I have a question in my form asking for a date to be entered, VERY lucky I noticed this error in testing so could change the question type before sending to clients!
Now they have to manually type the date, not very pro.....
Thanks! -

I'm going to need to use Google forms now because your date format (that is used in one country in the world...) will be too confusing for the people filling in the forms. Please add the ability to adjust the date format. Also, your terms do not abide by GDPR, so thanks for that too.

This change would be great thanks, the US date format is confusing and not used most of the world, ability to use your local date format would be great, thanks.

why is this not part of the standard programming of the product. It's truly essential. one of the main reasons our organisation has started to look else where for similar products (we moved from MS planner for similar reasons).
Please take note of the community and make this an option ! -

Hi Microsoft,
This feature is essential, did you realize that except form all US companies the rest of the world is using another data format.
Considering this is already build-in in Power BI, Excel this shouldn't be too much of an effort ... -

This Impacting my organisation as well. I kind of can't believe that this hasn't been implemented in over 2 years. This is a project an intern could complete. We just want to swap the months and the days or at least have the month in letters so we don't confuse 3rd of July with 7th of March
