Ability to change the Date Field format
Currently the date field is automatically filled based on the signer's PC device language.
When the language is set in Japanese, the date will be written in Japanese but when it is set in English, the date will be written in English.
It would be great if we can set the language/format of the date to be the same when there is multiple signers with different language setting.

Can the option be added to change the date format used in Box Sign.
Documents being signed and dated are dated with the format MMM DD,YYYY. Can the format used in Box Sign be different, such as DD/MM/YYYY or 25/07/2024. -

(1aQ) Would you prefer to configure the date format on the request level or organization level?
(1aQ response1) Preference would be to have both options available.(1bQ) Why?
(1bQ response) Because if you are using the Ready-Sign link which typically is used for high volume, low touch documents, then it is more feasible to set at the organizational level. However, if you are sending out a customized signature request that typically won't be duplicated, it should have the ability to set at the request level.(2aQ) Will you constantly adjust the date format depending on recipients or it's a one time setting?
(2aQ response) Refer to answers given in 1aQ response and 1bQ response.(3aQ) What date format is ideal for you?
(3aQ response) European format. DDMMYYYY
(4aQ) Anything else that would help us to design and build a great solution to improve your experience
(4aQ response) Prioritize and adopt the document naming convention sooner rather than later. For high volume, minimal touch documents, the naming convention is an absolute NIGHTMARE!

Field level. We have international clients who require the date format to be in their local format and must match in all copies. A single user may have to use multiple formats depending on the recipient or multiple formats within a single document (though that is more rare).Will you constantly adjust the date format depending on recipients or it's a one time setting?
The format does not need to be changed after the document is sent, but may be different from document to document.What date format is ideal for you?
MM/DD/YYYY
YYYY/MM/DD
Month-Full, DD YYYY
Month-Short, DD YYYY -

AT ORGINAZATION LEVEL, BUT ALSO THEN CONFIGURABLE BASED UPON THE DEVICE'S REGION SETTINGS - OFFER LONG DATE OR SHORT DATE, OR SHORT DATE AND SHORT TIME - REGION SETTINGS SHOULD HAVE PRIORITY OVER ORGANIZATION LEVEL SETTINGWill you constantly adjust the date format depending on recipients or it's a one time setting?
DATE FORMAT WILL CHANGE WHEN THE REGION A DEVICE IS USED IN CHANGES. USERS MAY WISH TO CHANGE DATE FORMAT (BETWEEN LONG AND SHORT DATE/TIME WHEN THEY WISH TO (DEPENDS ON WHETHER A SCREEN ALLOWS COLUMN WIDTH CHANGES)What date format is ideal for you?
I WORK IN UK, THE DATE FORMAT I WISH TO USE MAY CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE FUNCTIONALITY AVAILABLE IN A SCREEN/REPORT I AM LOOKING AT - IF COLUMN WIDTHS CANNOT BE CHANGED, AND A LONG DATE IS TRUNCATED ON SCREEN, I MAY WISH TO CHANGE TO SHORT DATE/SHORT DATE/TIME (ONE EXAMPLE)Anything else that would help us to design and build a great solution to improve your experience.
RELYING ON REGION SETTINGS, MEANS USERS MAY CHANGE BETWEEN REGIONAL FORMATS WHEN THEY WISH. BUT BOX SHOULD OFFER USERS TO PICK BETWEEN SHORT DATE, SHORT DATE+TIME, AND LONG DATE, FOR ANY COLUMN, SCREEN, REPORT, IF BOX HAS NOT ENABLED COLUMN WIDTHS AND FONTS TO BE CHANGED

We can change only signature date's font and character size,currently.
We would like the option to change the signature date format,not only [YYYY年MM月DD日](expression in Japan) but also such as [YYYY/MM/DD]etc. -

This is a must functionality and not even a feature. The document date formatting wouldn't be consistent if signers have different language/locale settings.

Box Sign ability to format date field differently (e.g. Jan-1-2023 vs. January 1st 2023 vs. 1/1/2023)

It would be good to be able to change the date format assigned to each date field in a Box Sign document. I.E. month first, year first, 2 digit year, full month name, abbreviated month, etc.

Why would you want the language/format of the date to be the same when there is multiple signers with different language setting? surely, you need the date format to be appropriate to the person reading/signing - ie appears differently, depending on language setting??
