The system’s default date format is controlled by the glide.sys.date_format property, which is set to YYYY-MM-DD by default. Changing this property globally could impact other parts of the platform, so it’s not recommended for isolated use cases.
Additionally, it’s important to note that a client script cannot set a date variable using a different format (e.g., DD/MM/YYYY), as the system will not recognize it as a valid date input.
Recommended approach:
Create a custom string variable to hold the formatted date (DD/MM/YYYY). Then, use a client script to convert the original date and populate this string field for display purposes only.
