You can convert text to a Date so you can use the string value with your other Date fields and formulas. You’ll want your text to be formatted as “YYYY-MM-DD”. Use this formula to return the Date value:
DATEVALUE( "YYYY-MM-DD" )

Hi,

You can write validation rule on your object  
NOT(REGEX(custom_date__c,"[0-9]{1,2}[/]{1}[0-9]{1,2}[/]{1}[0-9]{4}"))
so that if the date is other than _ _/_ _/_ _ _ _. This format you throw an error saying date should be in below above format.

Hi Sandya,
Can we seperate the numbers with '/' while entering the value in the field.

Hi Mac,

I suggest you use date field instead of text field which has all standard properties you are mentioning.

Thanks and Regards
