 * Hello,
 * There is an issue when customizing `date_format` property of a `text_date_timestamp`
   type field. I tried with ‘d/m/Y’, but when I picked a date it reversed the field
   value. Moreover, every time I save the post it also flip the value between ‘d/
   m/Y’ and ‘m/d/Y’.

 * I believe we have fixes for the issue in the next major version, but it hasn’t
   been released yet.
 * In the meantime, I’d look over [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/date-field-doesnt-display-the-value-in-admin?replies=31](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/date-field-doesnt-display-the-value-in-admin?replies=31)
   to see if any of the presented information helps you at all. It’s a very similar
   issue, if I recall right.
