TOPIC: checking formats for dates

checking formats for dates 3 weeks 1 day ago #43957

I am using Joomla 5, rsForms.
I fill out a form that is using the Joomla user registration integration.
However, when I try to edit that user in the back-end, I get an error-Failed to parse time string (10/30/1998) at position 0 (1): Unexpected Character
I believe the 10/30/1998 refers to the Date of Birth. I think it might be that the format for core Joomla, and rsForm might be using different formats for the dates.
Where do I go to check each of these formats and what would be the best format?

I'd recomend using Y-m-d as the format. That's the default for RSForm (configuration/settings) I believe and how the joomla database stores dates.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then you obviously don't understand the situation!
