the questions type is date, that will answer by client, if the date answered is before 24/ 7/ 2026, it will prompt a yes no questions, but when the client answer 2 / 2 /2026, the logic has skip the prompt (which is not what i intended), but if the client answer 2 / 02 / 2026, the prompt will appear. i believe is the system corrupted. please check.

This is a parsing ambiguity issue rather than a bug. Typeform's logic reads dates based on the format string, and 2 / 2 vs 2 / 02 can be interpreted differently depending on locale and whether the engine expects DD/MM or MM/DD. The reliable fix is to standardize the date field to ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD), which removes the ambiguity entirely. If you need respondent-friendly input, use separate dropdowns for day, month, and year and concatenate them in a hidden field.
One extra wrinkle if your form targets Arabic-speaking respondents: many will expect to enter Hijri dates. If you're calculating or comparing those against Gregorian dates anywhere downstream, you need a conversion step first, otherwise the logic breaks for the same reason — mismatched formats.
