Directorist - Date format dd-mmm-yyyy

A clean, user-friendly date input that displays dates in an easy-to-read dd-mmm-yyyy format (for example, 05-Dec-2025) instead of numeric dates. Visitors can either type the date or select it from a responsive calendar popup with clear month names, making date selection faster and reducing input errors.

The calendar automatically adapts to desktop and mobile screens, opening in a visible, well-positioned layout without overflowing the page. Dates entered by users are handled seamlessly in the background, so the experience feels smooth and intuitive with no extra steps or settings required.

This enhancement improves clarity, usability, and overall form experience for anyone interacting with date fields on the site, especially on mobile devices.
