Cannot set DD.MM.YYYY date format for table column

Issue

I was trying to enter dates in a table column using the DD.MM.YYYY format, but it gave an error. However, it worked in a simple text entry. When I reached out for help, I was told to use - instead of . but this doesn't align with the standard format in my region. It turned out to be a bug, and the Appsmith team provided an issue number to track it.

Resolution

The user reported an issue with date format in Appsmith, where they were unable to use DD.MM.YYYY format in a table column. The Appsmith team confirmed it as a bug and created an issue (#18572) to track and fix the problem. The user pointed out that - as a delimiter isn't an ideal replacement for their preferred format, but the team didn't offer any further solutions. Future updates to Appsmith should include a fix for this bug.
