Hi all, In the sail, for date field the default format is m/d/yyyy. But as

Have a look in the help files here:
forum.appian.com/.../Internationalization_Settings.html
This can be set for your Appian instance but users can also set their own preferred locale format

thanks tim. But when I choose a date from date picker let say 1/6/2015,it should display 01/06/2015 at that moment.Not in the next(readOnly) form.I am using this code but still same date

a!dateField(
label:cons!UPS_CCR_EstimatedLaunchDateLabel,
labelPosition: "ADJACENT",
value:ri!EstLaunchDate,
saveInto: a!save(ri!EstLaunchDate,if(isnull(save!value),"",
text(save!value,"mon/ddd/yyyy"))),
required:true
)

Use the below format
text(ri!EstLaunchDate,"mm/dd/yyyy")

The a!dateField() will display the value in a format dependent on the internationalization settings of the environment or the locale settings of the user as described in the docs. Using the text() function will not effect the display of a value at all in this type of component.

@sivac : You mean to say, even if you use a!dateField(value: text(ri!EstLaunchDate,"mm/dd/yyyy")) the value is going back to the other format ?

Sorry I understood your question wrongly. My bad. I was thinking you want to change the default "M/d/yyyy" into something like "d/M/yyyy". or "yyyy/M/d". Please ignore it.
