How to modify the date format in an e-sign request?
How can I change the format of the date or the signature-date in an e-sign request? Can I get date in a different format in the e-signed file? How to change the format of date from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY/MM/DD?
When you add the first date/date signed field, you will be prompted for the date format. Select the format you like from the dropdown and click Save. All other date or date signed fields added in this e-sign request will have the format that you selected.
You can change the date format for a single field by clicking it and, from the dropdown in the right sidebar, selecting a format.
The format you selected in either case will be used for:
- Displaying the date when a signer completes any date field in the e-sign request (when signing)
- In the final e-signed file (PDF) that is generated when the e-sign request has been completed.
If you need a format that is not offered in the options, please contact us and we may be able to add that format to the options.
Which fields: The format that you specify is used for all date and Date Signed fields, across all signers in that e-sign request.
Use in e-sign templates: The date format can be saved to e-sign templates and will be automatically used each time you use the template.
