    I am using the Date tag in Contact 7.
    <p>Date
    [date* date-format:dd_mm_yy date-182]</p>

    This works fine from a mobile device, but from a desktop I dont seem to be able to get the right date format. I get ‘Validation errors occurred. Please confirm the fields and submit it again’ with a yellow border but no fields are highlighted as in error.

    What format should be input from a desktop ?

    If I use <p>Date
    [date* date-182]</p>
    instead then the date field shows up as invalid via the desktop but I cant find a valid date format to enter.
    From a mobile device it works but the date is not displayed in the resultant email, just the name of the date field (date-182)

    The Datepicker is not a great interface on a mobile, works great for desktop.

    But why doesnt the contact 7 date work on desktop ? Its great on mobile.

    great to use on a mobile, but the date doesnt get back in the email so in effect useless

    Date format seems invalid is the message irrespective of what I put in.

    Hurrah found the answer on a similar post, posted minutes ago.

    Date format should be YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2013-04-18).
