Ok so Quickbase has date properties to display in the format of "DD MM YYYY" which we use, these on our forms but the data is actually stored in the javascript format of MM DD YYYY etc so when the API is called to create a new record it pastes the data into the date field in the new record as if it was MM DD YYYY but because the data is displaying as DD MM YYYY the system now has the date as the day and month as the day.
If i was to do as you suggested nothing would change as the data is already stored as the american format - its how you handle it on the new record that matters. If i did put in the effort to convert the date to text, push that text to the new record - how do i without having to open the new record get it to move the text date into a editable date field?
We are talking about 100+ fields in different tables this would have to apply to.. so any solution would i feel need to be minimal especially given future development work we plan to complete.
thanks
