 * Hi,
 * is use the “CURRENT DATE” Field for my form. It works, but it is using the wrong
   date format, which i set globally in wordpress.
 * I need the (German) Date Format DD/MM/YYYY – this I set in wordpress settings.
 * But the form uses MM/DD/YY (09/08/20) but i need (08/09/2020) – this confuses
   my client.
 * Where can i change this in the smart form?
 * Thank you in advance

 * Hello!
 * Sorry for the delay, i assume you are using a date picker? if so it can be changed
   directly in the date picker settings. Under the option “Date Format”

 * Hi Edgarrojas.
 * thank you for your reply.
 * I am not using the date picker. I am using the “Fixed Variables” in the E-Mail
   template after submitting the form. There is a field “current date” i am pasting
   into the E-Mail as placeholder variable. There is unfortunately nothing to change
   or set.
