Change date format of date field?

The CMS Questions
1

is it possible to change the format of the date field in the panel? in k2 we had the display property.

2

That’s not possible yet.

3

However an idea issue on Github for it does already exist: https://github.com/getkirby/ideas/issues/20

4

There’s a plugin for the DD.MM.YYYYplugin now: https://github.com/texnixe/kirby-plugins/issues/630

If you need another format, you could adapt that, I guess.

I tried the new ‘format’ option, but the result is still the same:

date:
  label: Date
  type: date
  format: d.m.Y # also tried DD.MM.YYYY and other stuff, too

How does it work?

I have the same problem as daybugging right now.
The date shows correctly in the panel, but it’s still the YYYY-MM-DD format in the .txt. How can I change that?

That doesn’t matter though, because you can output the date however you want using the toDate() field method:
