 * Is it possible to have the date (hidden value) in the form after submitting the
   response to Google Sheets here also formatted as a date? Currently it is plain
   text by which I do not work the Scripts in Sheets.
 * Whenever I change o manually it turns the whole column into plain text after 
   submitting a new response.

 * Hi [@idkvid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/idkvid/)
 * I hope you are doing well today.
 * I doubt we can control the Google Sheet column and cell in which format that 
   cell should be. Please note that this will be outside the scope of support we
   can provide. For that, you’ll need to hire a developer to provide the required
   custom code for you. WordPress provides a jobs directory here [https://jobs.wordpress.net/](https://jobs.wordpress.net/).
 * Anyway, I pinged our SLS Team to simply check if such a thing will be possible.
   We will post an update here as soon as more information is available.
 * Kind Regards,
   Kris

 * Hi again [@idkvid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/idkvid/)
 * We have some updates from our SLS Team and such a task is out of support scope.
   As mentioned before you will need to hire a developer to accomplish this task.
 * Kind Regards,
   Kris

 * Thanks, I think I can handle it through Apps Script. I thought the plugin was
   incorrectly passing the number format to Sheets.
