 * We are a charitable organisation. I am the Volunteer Webmaster (hobbyist).
    I
   am trying to use Form Builder to generate a form for our web site. I have managed
   to get a working form, and am overall happy with the functionality … HOWEVER …
   The form will be targeting Schoolteachers in England. In England, the standard
   Date format used is DD/MM/YY or DD/MM/YYYY. I can select dd.mm.yyyy, and thought
   that I could edit the date format in the regular expression field thus ^([0-9]
   |[0,1,2][0-9]|3[0,1])\/([0-9]|1[0,1,2])\/[0-9]{4}$ but this errors as invalid
   date. Can you advise if my objective is achievable, & how. Also, is it possible
   to have a dropdown calendar instead of the text box? Regards Paul Vendy [webmaster@rhts.co.uk](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/date-format-150/webmaster@rhts.co.uk?output_format=md)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdate-format-150%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * Please note that the Contact form Builder plugin does not have the mentioned 
   functionalities. We can recommend using the [Form Maker](https://wordpress.org/plugins/form-maker/)
   Plugin, which is the more advanced plugin and has the required functionalities.
   Please see [here](http://recordit.co/BDeqT1YfDn).
 * Thanks. Have a wonderful day.
