Hi @Anonymous ,

1. The date format display decided by the local client Regional settings. Please make sure your region setting like below. Then you don't need to change the date format and it will be "dd/MM/yyyy".

2. If you don't want to change the Region settings. You can refer to this video: Changing Date Format (MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY).
