Hey everyone,

I'm dealing with an issue that is pretty frustrating in that it seems so simple to fix, but does not work correctly. I imagine I could get it to work with a workaround (workflow plus an added, hidden field on the form), but that seems like overkill for the problem here.

We have a simple "Date" field in our form. In it, you can change the format. I want it to be MM/dd/yyyy, so that, for example, on January 17th it would show 01/17/2018. So, I change it in the options there. And when I pull up the form, it appears to fill the field correctly. However, when I then submit the form, it changes the formatting of that field in the variables to 1/17/2018!

This is an issue because once the form is submitted, we file it in a folder using that variable, and the folders are out of order as a result since it's not including the 0 in front of the 1. Anything I'm missing here? Is there some way to force Laserfiche to retain our desired date formatting upon submission?
