Hi @mdaruka 

Can you show which question type you are using for the same?

If you are using the pre-built question types you can store dd mm yyy separately in an embedded data.

thanks for the response. I am using the following script. But if this cannot be changed, happy to use the inbuilt question from Qualtrics. when a respondent selects the date it appears in the US format which we don’t want as it can confuse later. I want it to appear in the dd-mm-yyyy format

  $(y).setStyle({clear:'both'});var d =QBuilder('div',{className:'yui-skin-sam'},mQBuilder('div',{id:calid}),
    y
  ]);var c =this.questionContainer;
  c = $(c).down('.QuestionText');
  c.appendChild(d);var cal1 =new YAHOO.widget.Calendar(calid); 
  cal1.render();var input = $('QR~'+ qid);
  $(input).setStyle({marginTop:'20px',width:'150px'});var p =$(input).up();var x =QBuilder('div');
  $(x).setStyle({clear:'both'});
  p.insert(x,{position:'before'});
    cal1.selectEvent.subscribe(function(e,dates){var date = datesa0]s0];if(dated1]<10)
        dated1]='0'+ dated1];if(dated2]<10)
        dated2]='0'+ dated2];
    input.value = dated1]+'-'+dated2]+'-'+dated0];})});</script>

hold on I got it! thanks :)
