Hi Venkata Sumedha,

Go to your user detail and change locale field value to English (United States).
Then your date will be changed to MM/DD/YYYY.

Thanks

If you really have to enter it in MM/DD/YYYY format, you cannot use a date field, because - as Anil explains - the user's locale determines the format in which dates are entered.

It may be simpler to just look up the user's locale and adapt the tooltip to tell the user to enter the date in the appropriate format, based on a locale, rather than adjust the data type to allow a fixed format for input. YMMV ...
