What is the proposed idea/solution?
Would love for the date field to have a new format (Day, month/day/year).

Example: Friday, September 19, 2024. 

How does is solve the user problems?
It would be super helpful so folks aren't having to switch back and forth between a calendar to see which day lands on that specific date. Our team uses Airtable a lot, and we've been having to create a separate text line to write out the day of the week. Would be much easier if the date format included day. 
How was this validated?

Yeap, having that as a selectable date format would be nice.  If they let us just customize the date format the same way we can with DATETIME_FORMAT that'd be great too

Just checking, but when you say "text line to write out the day of the week", you mean a formula field right?

  Date,

)
