 * I am having issues with Contact Form 7 and all of my date fields. I saw in the
   documentation that that format by default needs to be yyyy-MM-dd but the date
   picker is choosing 05/12/2019. I can’t seem to fix this. I have a looked on a
   few other forms and can’t seem to find a fix. Any help please?
 * Code:
    <label> Your Date (required) [date* your-date] </label>

   This job application is where I came across the issue. Dates were both setup 
   the same though. [http://siouxfallsretirementliving.com/employment/](http://siouxfallsretirementliving.com/employment/)

 * Try switching to the default theme (Twenty Nineteen or Twenty Seventeen).

 * What could possibly be causing issues with just the date?

 * [@takayukister](https://wordpress.org/support/users/takayukister/) so you were
   right that it seems to be something tied to the theme. I cant get support for
   the theme any longer. Is there something I could look at that would be causing
   the date to format different?
