Date format incorrect from date picker

I recently posted a query regarding replacing the default date picker so that the user didn't have to click the OK button:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Date-picker-custom-control-query/m-p/1379549#M358765

The solution I was provided was based upon copying the datepicker from PowerApps in Teams to regular Power Apps, and for the most part works fine. I just have one glitch.

In my part of the world we use the dd/mm/yyyy date format. When I preview the app in Power Apps Studio, the date picker displays the date in the correct format:

However, when I publish the app, it changes it to US date format (mm/dd/yyyy):

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Try this

You may need to format in Teams first then re-copy back over to the Canvas app, not sure?

@rdorman , ( edited … Oups sorry, you refer to Teams ! My bad …)

Please check the Format property of the datepicker control to be set to “dd/mm/yyyy”.

Hope IT helps !

Unfortunately the classic control has the same date picker interface as standard Power Apps, which my client hates (too big and requires user to click OK).

There is no Format attribute for the date picker control. That was the first thing I looked for.

Then I think your only option here is to build your own. @mdevaney has a Blog article on how you could do this here. Plus there are plenty of YouTube videos on this subject.

I recently used Matt's article to build a Side by Side Date Picker like this, with a few extra bells and whistle:
