 * The date field in my form is formatted as DD/MM/YYYY but for some strange reason
   the email sent on form submission shows the date in YYYY/MM/DD format.
 * I have checked the date settings in WP Admin > General Settings and the date 
   format is set as d/m/Y.
 * Wondering why this is happening and how to fix this?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi, you can use macros to format the output of the field value. Specifically 
   for date formatting you need to replace your **%field_name%** with **%field_name
   |format_date%**
 * In this case, the date format will match the one configured in your settings.
   If you need a different one, you can specify it directly like this: **%field_name
   |format_date(Y-m-d H:i:s)%**.
