Date Field changes to YYYY-MM-DD format automatically

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have set up the date action to input date in to a web form. the date is written as and expression converting the input date received in text to date FormatDate(ToDate([Enter Data 1. Application date for enrollment ]), "MM/dd/yyyy") however when the date is entered in to the web form it converts it into YYYY-MM-DD format. How do i make this stick to the MM-DD-YYYY format that the form is expecting?

Hi, I recently spoke with a developer who had had a similar issue.  He said his problem is likely caused by the date input attribute on the webpage.  This attribute was supposed to solve the problem you're having but it does not behave in a standardised way because every other browser treats it differently.  To fix his problem he tried using different browsers until he got the result he wanted. This is vague and probably not useful. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help you out.
