Instant Apps Format Date Filter to DD/MM/YYYY

Bryan_krg — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 01:07:15 GMT

I have a date filter in my instant app but I want the dates to be formatted to DD/MM/YYYY instead of the default MM/DD/YYYY.

There seems to be a problem with instant apps not honoring the date format in the web map. As I have correctly set the dates to DD/MM/YYYY in the map...

If anyone knows how to fix this problem I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi @Bryan_krg

What are the settings in your ArcGIS Online/Enterprise? What date format is it following?

Organisation > Settings > General > Organisation Defaults

It looks like there could be an issue with the filter component updating to match the date format of the app.There is a documented issue tracking this.

Hi @DanielFox1,

My Organisation settings are as follows:

The Time Reference in the feature service layer details is also set to AUS Eastern Standard Time. e.g.

@BethRomero is this error also for the popup as it doesn't honor the date format if it is a field list e.g.

It does however honor the date format of arcade scripts?...

Thanks for sharing, I just tried to create a new date field on my data and found that even though my settings are in UK format the date still defaults to US mm/dd/yyyy

This looks like it could be a defect of some kind, can't see anything logged at the moment, I would recommend reaching out to your distributor to have a case logged and look into this further.

I have added an idea in Instant Apps to address this issue - https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-instant-apps-ideas/format-date-in-instant-apps-filter-and-popups/idi-p/1580294

@Bryan_krg This issue will be fixed in the next update of ArcGIS Online (end of Feb 2025).
