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.

Option to set date format would be most useful. Everything else I have is set to yyyy-mm-dd and it would be helpful to be able to have the form set that way as well. thanks.

Forms Date picker format reads as dd/mm/yyyy but when i pull the date result in Flow, it shows yyyy/mm/dd. It is desirable to remain in the same format as dd/mm/yyyy. It is confusing at the moment.

Crazy that you can't select a date format, or at least allow use to long format the date as, for example, June 04 2020.

I have a Form that uses a date picker. The picker shows a US calendar (Su-Sa). But this form will be widely used in a single EU country and to ensure people don't pick the wrong days, I want the calendar picker to show (Mo-So).
In Forms, it is not possible to change the date/time settings like one can for a SharePoint site in O365. And I do not wish to change the language on my entire account to achieve this. without it, European users are very likely to pick incorrect dates (thinking the first far left date is Monday).

I need to be able to do this as we are in the United Kingdom and it is confusing for clients populating the date in a US format.

Considering that the rest of the world uses DD/MM/YY, it's ridiculous that we can't change the date format.

We need to be able to capture/record at least the local computer date/time on the form. This is a big hold up for us. Our timezone is GMT +10hrs and most users respond to forms in the morning, so the date recorded is yesterday for us. E.g. if the user completes the form at 8:00am on Monday, the date and time is recorded as Sunday at 10:00pm, so it is the wrong date. This is one of the reasons why we have only trialed the product and have not bought the licensing for the Pro version.

I need this too as my users are used to having dd/mm/yyyy as the default.

This is such a basic requirement, it shouldn't even be up for discussion. Microsoft has always been known for providing good localization options of their products, it is beyond belief that there is not even a comment from the team on this request. Please, tell me that this is on the roadmap!

Hello Microsoft - could we please have an acknowledgment of this request and know whether or not you will be implementing it? Many of us do not live in the United States.
