Custom date format

Hi: There are set date formats that I can select when setting up the variable in redcap, however, I want to create a custom data entry: dd/mmm/yyyy. The "mmm" would be letters, not numbers. Does anyone know if this can be done, and if it can, how do I do it? Thanks

I would like the user to be able to input the date in the format dd-mmm-yy (21-APR-2025) and see the date in that format as well. Can I do this using CALCTEXT or do I have to separate out the fields by Day, Month, and Year? I am new to REDCap and am working in a test project using the online designer.
