Not certain if this is the correct place to post but I’m using the 5.0.1 development version so I’ll take a stab. When attempting to create and save a new patient everything works well as long as the DOB is entered in the YYYY-MM-DD format. If I try to enter it in the MM-DD-YYYY format, however, when I leave the field it simply changes the date entered to the current date, which effectively gives the patient an age of 0. I suppose that one could work around this issue by simply entering the data in the YYYY-MM-DD format however I’m 99% confident that my staff will not be consistent in doing so. Any ideas how to change the behavior back to what it was in 5.0.0? I presume that this problem relates to the apparently new reliance upon datepicker however I haven’t yet figured out how to manipulate that particular feature. Oh, my admin>globals>locale is set to display dates in the MM-DD-YYYY fashion.
Hi @Mouse55 ,
How recent is your 5.0.1 version? This was very recently fixed to work in 5.0.1 (the datepicker format and allowed format follows the admin->globals setting). Could also try it out on the most recent development version (demo is updated daily) here:

Thank you. It works like a charm now. I had been using a copy of 501dev I had downloaded from GitHub 1/8/18. The copy I downloaded yesterday (2/15/18) appears to have resolved the problem. And now on to my next problem…
