Great! I'll have to re-test it.

It looks like it's working for us in the web client. We are using a MM/dd/yyyy format.

    Diane,

    Are you talking about the old xul client or the new browser client?

    While this setting will affect various date formats throughout
    the Evergreen database (and not just the Patron DOB field), you
    can set the date format via Library Setting: Format Dates with
    this pattern.

    I don't think this setting affects the date format in the browser
    client patron registration form.

    I hope this helps!

        Good afternoon –

        The staff at my library are working through a patron
        registration exercise. More than one person has asked why the
        birthdate needs to be entered yyyy-mm-dd, a format not widely
        used in the USA. How should I answer that question?

        Thank you.
