The datepicker offers limited date formats.

**Suggestion:** Add a long-form date format option like “1 January 2026”. This format is much easier to read and process when working with large numbers of dates, and reduces cognitive load compared to numeric-only formats.

Hi @avviodigital,

definitely not a bad idea to add human-readable date formats! We already have an issue for that where you can track any progress: [More Options for Date/Time Formats in the date field · Issue #2479 · baserow/baserow · GitHub](https://github.com/baserow/baserow/issues/2479)
