Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

Hi
Do you mean how to format the resultant date when it is shown? If you do it is controlled by the Long-datefoermat in the Downloads Tab of Config.Edit Not sure will check out

For formatting details the following might be useful
http://www.jdownloads.net/documentations/item/international-dates-times-and-number-style

If you mean how to get the information into a Download when editing or creating it the the attached pics might help.

To show the information you need to edit the relevant Layout - typically athe Active Files Laout or the Download Details Layout

This documentation is sometimes useful

Hi,
it is not possible to change this via configuration.
The only way is to override the definition in  /components/com_jdownloads/models/forms/download.xml

You will find in line 614 this:
        <field name="custom_field_11"
            type="jdcustomfield11"
            class="inputbox"
            required="false" />
           
        <field name="custom_field_12"
            type="jdcustomfield12"
            class="inputbox"
            required="false" />


You can change it to this:

        <field name="custom_field_11"
            type="jdcustomfield11"
            class="inputbox"
            size="22"
            format="%e. %B %Y"
            filter="user_utc"           
            required="false" />
           
        <field name="custom_field_12"
            type="jdcustomfield12"
            class="inputbox"
            size="22"
            format="%e. %B %Y"
            filter="user_utc"           
            required="false" />

Result see pic.
You can also use the (unzipped) file below. But make sure that you use the "override" function from Joomla. Otherwise will you lost this modifications after the next jD update.

Can you send me login data for your backend as super user via PM?
Also FTP login data would be useful.
