Here you can change it. Just use Date/Time picker. ![Screenshot_2023-04-25-11-34-15-460-edit_com.android.chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/8/3/83ad11eecb1ee5c095a5bc9f6ec1c731648bd65f.jpeg) ---

Thanks for the reply I think you are using date picker but I am using input element - content format Date Where the user can type their date of birth rather then selecting from the drop-down Uploading: image.jpg… ---

> [@cocomongol4](#): > > Is this even possible to change the formate of the date in input element The short answer is no. Apparently, there [used to be](http://forum.bubble.io/t/change-format-of-date-input/51755) a format option for dd/mm/yyyy, but it doesn’t exist anymore. I never saw that format before, and I have no idea why it doesn’t exist now. ---

Thanks @mikeloc So we will have to use date/time Picker element for the dates The problem with the date picker element is It only go back month by month if a user have to type a date 30years ago. Going to that date month by month will take forever Is there a way in date picker to skip years ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/4/b/4b50eeb8412d1309ef158d598fcb0dc63ba9d977.jpeg) ---

Use this setting. ![date-picker](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/a/e/ae3147d562b34923f82669654a3c9999bb7a5ea7.png) ---

Then use euro date instead of date and you will have dd/mm/yyyy format. ![Screenshot_2023-04-25-12-16-41-742-edit_com.android.chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/2/f/2f70d8dc230092979b628b8916ee40178010150e.jpeg) ---

Oh, _Euro date_ is in there… my bad. I thought they had removed that option altogether, but they just renamed it from _Date\_2_ (which was a pretty ridiculous label). ---
