| Detail | Description |
|---|---|
| Feature | Clearly displays the expected date and time input format to help prevent errors and confusion. |
| Why this feature matters | When forms explicitly show the date and time format \(like MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY\), users see exactly how to enter the information correctly. This preference is especially helpful in global contexts where formats differ by region, reducing mistakes and improving form completion rates. |
