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.

It does seem mad this still hasn't been looked at. It's very confusing to our staff here in the UK.

Not only does your country use the most illogical date order, but then inflict it on the rest of the world. Please support other date formats, its 2020.
This has been a requested feature for over 3 years. If you want people to use your products, actually provide them with the features they are requesting
I suspect Forms will have Teams Integration and Animated GIF support before I can change the date format.

This is not a choice but absolutely essential the vast majority of the world do not use American date format so it causes real problems and misunderstanding.
PLEASE PLEASE FIX NOW -

Ask for support for regional formatting is not a suggestion, it is part of the product order for Office365. Microsoft is not fulfilling their obligations by not providing this. Here in Australia we pay the same amount for Office 365 subscription as American users do (if not more due to all the foreign payment fees). Looks like left hand does not talk to right hand in Microsoft otherwise adding time format option would be a very basic part of any system development procedure. Leaving this option out is no different than forgetting the addition of mouse support in an application.

Why does the whole customer base have to conform to that of one country?
There are multiple date formats in excel, power bi, access... Why does forms not?This needs to be changed to accommodate the rest of the world
Also, this was raised on 14/03/2017 (See what I did there?) why has it taken almost 3 years to implement this change?

Such a basic feature that has somehow gone unnoticed by the developers

dd/mm/yyyy is the standard for pretty much the whole world apart from the US. Only giving us mm/dd/yyyyis crazy. Please add this functionality asap - it's such a basic requirement.

Please allow functionality from Excel to allow date formatting. US format is normally not expected from others which may cause errors in obtaining replies

How about we make the forms usable with basic settings?
Must have settings:
* Text editor - cannot use bold fonts? 'cmon its 2020
* Date format - ability to change the date format no way we are stuck with M/ddd/yyyy ?!
* Removing the numbering in the forms - or at least renumbering option in new sections
* Option to add time - with hour and minute picker
* Customize the email my responses message (ATM not really clear)
