Hello everyone,  
I have a small question about the date type from the slicemachine.

When I add the Date field it will automatically have the following format in prismic: MM/DD/YYYY.

Is it possible to change this to: DD/MM/YYYY?

I couldn't find anything about it, so I assume it is not possible at the moment.  
Thanks for answering in advance.

Greetings,  
Maurits

Hey @mauritsbrouwer, that's correct. It isn't possible to change the format of the Date fields.
