How do you set the date format to display the date with spaces in between.I tried the "m m d d y y y y" format but it does not display properly since it returns 2 same values.The "mm dd yyyy" format also does not satisfy the requirement.
Thanks!
Hi @reenamarie_04 ,
That is correct - there are limited Format options on dates in the Date Picker control (and most other things)
d = 1
dd = 01
ddd = Mon
dddd = Monday
m = 1
mm = 01
mmm = Jan
mmmm = January
y = 22
yy = 22
yyy = 2022
yyyy = 2022
so d d is simply the date twice without any leading zero if applicable.

Thank you, is there a work around you can suggest to fit the characters in the boxes? My ultimate goal is just to place the date in the boxes it corresponds to.
I assume that is a date picker you are using - if so, what boxes ?
I placed the date picker on top of a ready made form. I need to format the date picker so that the characters are aligned to the boxes and do not overlap in the borders/lines
Unfortunately, there is no character spacing options on the fonts - the best you are going to achieve is
"mm dd yyyy"
Thank you!
