    The / isn't a literal slash here. PAD uses .NET formatting where / just means "date separator" and gets swapped for whatever your Windows region uses, which is - on your machine. That's why you get 20-07-2026.

    Escape it: type dd'/'MM'/'yyyy in the Custom Format box. The Sample will flip to slashes right away.
