Date format in text field

[thead]

Is it possible to create a date field that the users can manually insert the format like MM-DD-YYYY and make the dash included in the field as well?

We can achieve the desired result using custom JavaScript coding. To do this, please try to add a Header and Footer to your submission form, and please put these codes after you disabled the HTML editor:

Header:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.inputmask/5.0.7/jquery.inputmask.min.js" integrity="sha512-jTgBq4+dMYh73dquskmUFEgMY5mptcbqSw2rmhOZZSJjZbD2wMt0H5nhqWtleVkyBEjmzid5nyERPSNBafG4GQ==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></script>

Footer:
<script>
$("#InsertRecordFieldName").inputmask({"mask": "99-99-9999",
"placeholder" : "MM-DD-YYYY"});
</script>
