Date input format

Question

Hello, 
 is it possible to somehow configure a!dateField() to be able to handle date formatted as dd.mm.yyyy? 
 Or do we have to use textField in this case and put all validations for dates there? If yes does anyone have some set of validations to share if you faced this requirement from customer before? 
 Thanks a lot

a!dateField() Displays and allows entry of a single date (year, month, day). When the field is editable, users can input dates by typing or by picking from a calendar. 
 and it returns month day year 
 
 In Appian there is no such kind of functionality that validation for dates in text field .
