Hi @domhnallohanlon, et al,

I’ve discovered a bug in both the Date and Time input components. The format can only be set at design time.

Steps to reproduce:

- Create new project
- Add Date Input and Label
- Add blocks as in screenshot
- Observe displayed date does not change format.

The above will also reproduce the same issue for the Time Input component.

Sorry, you don’t actually need the label. (I did because I set Date Input’s visible property to false.)
