To convert the date format from MM/DD/YYYY to a date format in Alteryx, you can use the "DateTimeParse" function. Here are the steps: Drag and drop a "DateTimeParse" tool onto your workflow canvas. Connect the tool to your data source.

Hi @Madihah_29 

 

The answer is you can't unless you want to risk breaking the ui.  The code that returns the formatted date is this

getFormattedDate = function (date) {
    if (!(date instanceof Date)) {
        throw new TypeError("The date must be an instance of Date.");
    }

    return [(date.getMonth() + 1), "/",
            (date.getDate()), "/",
            (date.getFullYear())].join("");
};
