Hi,

Is there a quick (or not so quick) fix to make the date field in the form display the day of the week as well?

Example: Sat, June 16, 2018.

Thanks.

No, since Toolset Forms (and Types too) uses a JS library for that which we do neither provide hooks or GUI to customize, this is not possible.
You can however modify the formats like this:

jQuery(window).bind("load", function() {
   jQuery( ".js-wpt-date" ).datepicker( "option", "yearRange", "2002:2015" , ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", 'yy-M-dd' ).datepicker("setDate", 'November 24, 2017');
});

dateFormat schuld be possible to extend to some other options:
hidden link

But as far I see, that is merely for what's used as value, to be shown in the input, not the picker itself, that one cannot be edited so easily
