Hi, I live in the Caribbean and our date format is DD/MM/YYYY but I always prefer to use DD-MMM-YYYY. This way there can be no confusion when someone sees a date like 5/6/2026 and are unsure whether it is the 5th of June or the 6th of May. Can you please add MMM to your date formats (so DD-MMM-YYYY and YYYY-MMM-DD) or (even better) the ability to define your own format using the standard - DD, MM, MMM and YYY so that the user can customise to their specifications. Thanks Steve ---

Hi @SynopsisLabs, This should be possible, did I understood you incorrectly? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/4/b/4bc27f031d5ea49ec2d012e331025024b2888b37.png) Thank you and have a great day! ---

Hi, I put 3 instances of the date and changed the format for each one. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/8/d/8d88ec410669d76e6e9d6d2c9054b3ac7e3896dd.png) Thanks Steve
