Question

Can I specify the format of the date fields?

Answer

In Adobe Sign, the default format for date fields is Month Day Year (mm/dd/yyyy)

You can use the formatting scheme from calculated fields to specify the date field format, for example:

{{date1_es_:signer1:date:format(date, "mmm dd, yyyy")}}

This causes the date field format to appear as: Dec 01, 2018

Alternatively, you can use a calc formula to generate the same format:

{{date_es_:signer1:calc(now()):format(date, "mmm dd, yyyy")}}

Both these fields behave the same and result in the same format being displayed in the date field.
