Force datepicker value format in web approval request interface

Question

Hi, I was just wondering if there was a way to force the format of the date picker value in the web approval interface.

We have operation that are very time specific and since the values of the datepicker are in the local format of the requester's computers we've denied a few requests thinking that they had selected the wrong dates. I've already dealt with the format in the script once it's been aproved but I wasn't aware that it was showed like that in the web interface.

Example of the problem:

Hello Jean-Simon,

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to force the format. It depends on a number of criteria and can only change when the corresponding options change.
